Independence Bowl: Missouri Tigers vs. Carolina Tar Heels
I like Mizzou pretty handily in this one; they wrapped up their season with three consecutive wins while Carolina limps in with losses in two of their last three and four of their last six. In fact, the Tar Heels were only 3-5 in their conference, achieving bowl eligibility with wins over James Madison, Rutgers, East Carolina, and Louisville. They’ve got an interim coach after Butch Davis was fired right before fall camp started. The Tigers, on the other hand, have a well-rounded offense and relatively respectable losses. (At least, four of them were to teams ranked in the top 15.) Pick: Missouri. Confidence: 25.
