Texas Bowl

Rice vs. Western Michigan
Date: Dec. 30
Time: 8 p.m.
TV: NFL Network
Line: Rice -3
About Rice: The Owls finished the season on a six-game win streak and kicked the crap out of UTEP and Houston. Huh. They also gave up 63 points to Tulsa and 52 to Texas.
Intangibles:
Chinese food: +6
Home game for all Owls fans: -2
Once coached by Ken Hatfield: -6
About Western Michigan: The Broncos, seemingly like every other team I’ve previewd so far, scores lots of points and plays no defense.
Intangibles:
In Michigan:: -3
Not near Ann Arbor: +4
Alma mater of Tim Allen: +2
I hated Tool Time: -3
Impact Player: Western Michigan QB Tim Hiller. Hiller is from Orrville, Ohio. So is Smuckers jams. My cousin works for Smuckers and lives in Orrville. Coincidence? I think not. Big game for Hiller.
Bowl slogan: “YeeHaw, Tex! This game sucks.”
Little known fact: The game MVP of the Texas Bowl gets a trophy AND a cowboy hat. Actually true. And a little gay.
Little Known Fact #2: This game is on the NFL Network, further guaranteeing nobody will watch it.
Watchability (1-5): 0
The Pick: Rice 41, Western Michigan 31

At least if a game has to be on the NFL network it should be the least watchable game.
Really, a cowboy hat? That is gay.
