Wed or Thu. Most likely Wednesday night... got TG shopping to do when I get off work, so I won't really have time to get to it till late evening. On Thanksgiving I'd probably be too busy to think about it LOL.

Memphis @ Temple ESPN
MY LINE: Memphis 45-13 No way this game is close.
UTSA @ #_ Tulane ABC
MY LINE: Tulane 31-27 Tulane's been struggling on offense for 4 games in a row and against inferior competition. UTSA has won 7 in a row and been scoring a TON. I am making the argument that Tulane is the best team they have played since Tennessee, so I don't see them rolling Tulane, but an upset win wouldn't actually surprise me.

Navy @ SMU ESPN2
MY LINE: SMU 41-17 I am not going to discount Navy needing this win to secure a bowl prior to the Army game, but SMU is too strong for them.
FAU @ Rice ESPN+
MY LINE: Rice 30-26 FAU has been struggling on offense for two straight games and with bowl hopes gone, I think Rice secures win #6 and their own bowl bid.
Tulsa @ ECU ESPN+
MY LINE: ECU 21-20 Tulsa has been scoring, but also has been giving up a lot of points. The Pirates are struggling on offense, but their defense has been killing it. With ECU's OC fired before the game, ECU's final home game and thus Senior Day, and I am sure an internal motivation of avoiding 2-10 in favor of at least matching the Scottie Montgomery era 3-9 I think ECU gets the win based on defense. The offense might ride the final game mojo to get to 21. Making the score close, because ECU's offense is ECU's offense.
UAB @ UNT ESPN+
MY LINE: UNT 31-27 I'm basically giving UNT the home school nod here. Both teams have looked very up and down over the last few weeks.
Charlotte @ USF ESPNU
MY LINE: USF 33-23 USF gets a bowl in their final game of the regular season. Charlotte has shown some heart in a few games, but I think USF driving for bowl eligibility keeps that from happening.
...ITS THE FINAL COUNTDOWN...
Scores update coming this afternoon. Comprehending that loss, along with some other stuff, I never got back to it for the final update.
SMUs QB loss, Tulane wins. Interesting weekend!

REALITY SAID: Tulane 29-16 Kind of what I figured...

REALITY SAID: SMU 59-14 Yeah... Navy is in a odd spot, the need the Army win for 6 wins, but I believe the bowls make decisions before that game gets played so...
3-0
FAU @ Rice ESPN+
MY LINE: Rice 30-26 FAU has been struggling on offense for two straight games and with bowl hopes gone, I think Rice secures win #6 and their own bowl bid.
REALITY SAID: Rice 24-21 Rice gets it done for a bowl bid.
4-0

REALITY SAID: Tulsa 29-27 I'm really kind of speachless on how this game ended. I am speachless on ECU's entire season of suck. And the fact that Mike Houston really talked down Scottie Mo when he got here, and now he has a season in year 5 worse than anything Mo did.
4-1
UAB @ UNT ESPN+
MY LINE: UNT 31-27 I'm basically giving UNT the home school nod here. Both teams have looked very up and down over the last few weeks.
REALITY SAID: UNT 45-42 About as tight as I thought, but a lot more scoring LOL.
5-1
Charlotte @ USF ESPNU

REALITY SAID: USF 48-14 Didin't expect the ass kickery, but did expect a USF win.
6-1
...ITS THE FINAL COUNTDOWN...
Thank God its over.
