Taking RICE here. It would be easy for me to jump on the SEC here vs lowly Rice. But I like this little club. I had them all the back in week 1 when they covered for us against Texas A&M. I will end cashing with them again here on the final day of 2013. Would not be surprised if we eked out a straight up win here. I like that MSU is off a win over rival Mississippi. They are probably think Rice? Whatever. I mean, these guys had to win their last 2 just to go bowling. They face the Owls who have won 9 of their last 10. A nice veteran squad that won their conference. They are chomping at the bit to take down any SEC club. We have a huge edge with our FG kicker. The guy has a cannon leg. Bowling Green, almost the same kind of mid-major conference champion like the Owls, played these guys to 21-20 on their home field. I think Rice will give them the same if not more here. 5* Best Bet RICE OWLS
