Air Force Reserve Celebration Bowl
North Carolina Central (9-2, 7-0 MEAC) vs. Grambling State (11-1, 10-0 SWAC)
Dec. 17 – 12 p.m., ABC
Georgia Dome, Atlanta

Average Line: Grambling, -15

The second year of the Celebration bowl is a matchup of two classic HBCU schools, with Grambling State representing the SWAC, and NC Central representing the MEAC in Atlanta.

Both schools have reason to be motivated to win this game, with both barely missing out on making the inaugural game in 2015.

If you want to make a prediction about this game, look no further than Grambling quarterback DeVante Kincade. The Ole Miss transfer QB has tossed 28 touchdowns to only three interceptions this season (tops in the FCS), and is third in the FCS in passing efficiency (171.6).

There will be a lot of offense in this game, but most of it may end up coming from Grambling’s side of the field, as they’ve put up a blistering 539 points this season.

Prediction: 15 points is a lot to cover, even for a team as good as Grambling, but in this case, take the Tigers to cover that spread.
