5-Unit Play: Take 245 W. Michigan +3.5 over W. Kentucky (12:30 p.m., Monday, Dec. 30

First Responder Bowl

I'm taking the points with Western Michigan on Monday. C-USA has been a bankroll burner in the bowls thus far, losing 4 of their first 5 bowl games. The Broncos schedule rated tougher than did Western Kentucky's yet WMU owns the better key numbers. WMU also has bowl revenge on their side, if you will. No, they didn't lose to WKU last bowl season but they blew a game they could have and feel they should have won with a major letdown in the second half of a loss to BYU after leading at halftime. Bottom line: this one is power rated as WMU being the favorite, yet they're getting more than a field goal. I'm backing Western Michigan plus the points on Monday. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

(249) ILLINOIS at (250) CALIFORNIA
The Bears (7-5) are in their second straight holiday bowl event and square off against the Fighting Illini (6-6) who are playing in their first bowl game since 2014
Cal lost to TCU in last year's Cheez-It Bowl -- a game that was a snooze-fest for those that watch football for offensive action. Last season's Cheez-game was in one of the lowest-scoring bowl games in the last 25 years. Illinois head coach Lovie Smith is on the verge of having his first winning season as the Illini bench boss.
This isn't being labeled as such but all things transparent it is... a home game for California. The Golden Bears have the versatility to be whomever they want on offense. They have a pair of quarterbacks that are interchangeable depending on their plan of attack and the opponent. Sophomore Chase Garbers and junior Devon Modster combined for 2,205 passing yards, 410 rushing yards, and 18 touchdowns. The bell cow in the offensive backfield is RB Christopher Brown Jr who’s is lightning of the offensive skilled players. The tailback posted 943 yards from scrimmage with 11 combined touchdowns.
Cal is, as the Illini are, defense-first. The Bears average 20.1 points and 323.0 yards per game
The Illini are lead by quarterback Brandon Peters, running backs Reggie Corbin, Dre Brown, and Ra'Von Bonner. Smith's offense averages 27.3 ppg. Illinois went over the 30-point mark in six regular-season games but have faced but one defense as skilled and capable as the Bears.
The underlying peripherals in this game significantly favor the Bears. I expect this game to be a back-and-forth affair for the most part. Both teams will score plenty and do enough on defense to keep their teams competitive. But this resurgent Illinois team will find a way to pull out a close win in the end.
The Illini rank near the bottom of most important offensive categories. They gained, on average, over 509 yards less against their opponents this year than the foe allowed on average.
Cal’s offensive efficiency, adjusted, places them in the plus-yardage category in each and every game this season. The Cal offense averaged only 323 yds per game but factoring in numbers, i.e. time of possession and others puts them on top of the Illini on both offense and defense. On the stop side of the ball the Bears have an overwhelming advantage. And the offense is, for the first time this season, intact, healthy and ready to send QB Garbers behind center to start in this RedBox event -- a game in which Cal controls from start to finish and the best team and eventual winner in this holiday contest is never in question.

The hook could make the difference in an even matchup. So could the time gap between the final regular-season game and the bowl for Western Michigan star RB LeVante Bellamy (23 TDs, 1,410 yards). Nagging injuries did not slow him down much, and he should be refreshed against the No. 21 defense in points allowed. In the postseason, if it’s a top-notch defense against a top-notch offense, usually side with the latter.

FIRST RESPONDER BOWL -- I wish I had a great reason to explain this pick, but in the end it boils down to me just fading Conference USA this bowl season. The conference is 2-4 so far, but its two wins were by its two best teams. The rest of the conference past FAU and Louisiana Tech has been soft all season. Now, that's not to say the MAC is filled with juggernauts, but this Western Michigan team is good enough to cover against a WKU team that's not as good as its 8-4 record would suggest.

W. KENTUCKY VS W. MICHIGAN | 12/30 | 12:30 PM EST
FIRST RESPONDER BOWL -- WMU has not played great - or consistent - defensively this season. While the Broncos have an offense capable of threatening any opponent, their defense usually is giving the opposing team free access to the end zone. Look for more of that here, as WKU is firing on all cylinders offensively and playing much better defense.
