A lot of these minor bowls games come down to the simple fact of which team wants to be there. Auburn almost pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the season in thier last game of the season against Alabama. Their offense wasn't the same when Nix went out with an injury and he has since transferred. They will be motivated to knock off an SEC team. The Tigers still have a strong defense, but their offense is going to struggle to move the ball in this game. Houston will be led by running back Alton McCaskill who is ninth in the country with 16 rushing touchdowns this season. Houston is putting up 37.3 points while Auburn is scoring 29.4 points. I will take the motivated team getting points in this one.

Play on Houston. This is a 7* play.
