Houston vs Pittsburgh 12:00 ET
Cougars (+) over Panthers- The idea that these two clubs are playing a game this late in the football season makes us question how are these bowl games arranged. Houston enters this contest with their head coach not because he moved on for a better position but because he was FIRED! Pittsburgh enters with a different coach as well as Paul Chryst left to take the job at Wisconsin. Pittsburgh has two offense stalwarts as ACC-Player of the Year and first-team All-American James Conner set conference record scoring 24 touchdowns and receiver Tyler Boyd who had 1,000 yards for the second straight season. Somehow, in Dallas, Huston will pull off at least a point-spread win. Houston returns 17 starters and they can run their system with or without their coach.Take the COUGARS!
