Taking the COUGARS here. I'll be honest, was thinking of grabbing the ML dog here. But I think that Houston still has plenty to prove here. They will get to send off their QB with a nice bowl win, and enter their new HC, OC Major Applewhite with a bowl win. They also keep their DC in place. Can't forget that these guys beat the Big 12 Champ in Oklahoma, and a pretty good Louisville team with a QB who nearly won the Heisman. Aztecs don't much gas left in the tank. I can see them being close for half, but Houston is pulling away for a double digit win here. 8* Sure Shot HOUSTON COUGARS
