Independence Bowl Picks

Independence Stadium
Sunday Dec. 30th, Shreveport
Alabama Crimson Tide vs Colorado Buffalos
Spread:  Alabama -3.5
Over/Under Total:  51.5
By JR Valdez

Neither team is particularly good and both come into this game at 6-6 which makes you think, “jeez anyone can get into a bowl game.”  Anyways Nick Saban who was supposed to be the savior of the once storied Alabama program is coasting in on a 4 game losing streak will be relying on QB John Parker Wilson who is ranked 11th out of 12 in the SEC to try and keep from turning the ball over which he has accomplished 11 times this year with only 15 TD’s to compliment them.  He will be looking to hook up with senior WR DJ Hall who is definantly heading to the pros after leading the SEC this year in receiving yards with 947.  Colorado has not faired much better this year and their one bright spot is their defense that ranked a measly 6th in the Big 12.  These 2 teams are almost exactly identical on paper in terms of rankings for general stats and neither has exceptional standout players except for maybe DJ Hall so in a game like this I like Bama simply because they have more bowl experience and its a lot closer to home for them so I would expect a lot more of the Bama faithful to make the trip giving a home field advantage feel to it, take Bama but buy it down to 3 points just for good measure.

Independence Bowl History

The Independence Bowl can trace its History back to 1975 when the board of directors of the Shreveport-Bossier City Sports Foundation conceived the idea of bringing a postseason football game to northwest Louisiana. Applying to the National Collegiate Athletic Association for certification, the group’s efforts were rewarded with the approval of a December 13, 1976 game. That first Independence Bowl game hosted Texas A&M vs. Cowboys of Oklahoma State. This team rivalry between the Southwest Conference and Big-Eight Conference drew huge national attention to the Shreveport-Bossier City area. This game originally matched the Southland Conference champion against an at-large opponent. During the first five years of the Bowl’s existence, it enjoyed a good working relationship with the Southland Conference (SLC) which provided the host team for the annual event.

In 1980, the Shreveport Bossier City Sports Foundation took over operations of the Independence Bowl. In 1981, though, the Independence Bowl began inviting major college teams. The Directors of the bowl ended their agreement with the SLC, which provided them the opportunity to scour the country for the best teams available in the NCAA Division I-A ranks. Since 1995, the bowl has featured an SEC team against an at-large team.
