Prediction for Popeyes Bahamas Bowl?

[SpaceRaider]

What's your score prediction for the bowl?

MT's tendency to turn the ball over this season and WMU ability to convert third downs and control time of possession has me thinking this is a 45-28 type score for the Broncos.

42- 31 good guys. The game will be back and forth until we finally pull away at the end

I have no idea. I am wondering if with healthy backs (as long as we don't fumble) and as healthy as our o-line has been that we may peak offensively for this game. I am going to put some thought in my prediction.

Way too many unknowns to have any confidence in a prediction. Hasn't gone too well the last two times we met a MAC team in a bowl. Just happy to be at the first one; as for the 2nd, blame Dasher.

WMU by 2 TDs

I am not getting all the hype for WMU. We have won our last 4, they have lost 2 of last 3. They have NEVER won a bowl game, we have at least won one with a lot less years as an FBS team. They played some teams tough and so did we. The MAC isn't any better than CUSA.

I watch a lot of college football. But I never saw WMU. I have no idea how good they are as an opponent.

They put some points up on Michigan State, so that's impressive. They also got smoked by Georgia Southern - not so much impressive. SOS is similar to ours.

From all I gather, these are two very evenly matched teams.

Looking at history, MT treats bowl games as rewards instead of actual competitive games - we don't care about winning, we're just happy to be there. Until proven otherwise, I don't think we show up.

WMU 44
MT 27

About sums it up nicely, Doug. I'll go:

WMU 48
MT 27

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

Screw it, MT wins going away!

MT 48
WMU 32

I don't know much about WMU, but I'm going to assume that their offense is as good as the hype. If that's the case, our national lead in lost fumbles will cost us at some point.

WMU 48
MT 38

Sorry, when the bright lights shine on us in bowl games we crap the bed. This one is no different. 35-21 WMU

 

[MTsumner92]

We are healthy.

MT 39 WMU 29

Then again our sports information department has not said anything about any of our players not being able to play due to grades so I guess we will find out the true shape of our team tomorrow at 11.
