Miami Beach Bowl
Central Michigan (6-6, 3-5 MAC) vs. Tulsa (9-3, 6-2 AAC)
Dec. 19 – 2:30 p.m., ESPN
Marlins Park, Miami

Average Line: Tulsa, -11.5

The Chippewas love to stage upsets in bowl games, but this year they’re just too far overmatched.

The Golden Hurricane score, and score a lot. CM’s defense simply won’t be able to keep up with an offense that averages 41.4 points per game. Not with a defense which gives up nearly 30 per contest.

The point spread does look a bit large, but by the 4th quarter, Tulsa should be rolling along without any problems. Should be a big day for James Flanders and D’Angelo Brewer, both of whom topped 1,000 rushing yards this season.

Prediction: Tulsa should run away (literally) with this one. Take them to cover 11.5
