FiveStarPick.com looks forward to another bowl win tonight as we give you the winner of the Motor City Bowl between the Chippewas of Central Michigan and the Owls of FAU.  Las Vegas sportsbooks list Central Michigan (8-4 straight up, 6-5 against the spread) as a 6.5-point favorite with the total set at 63.

After starting the season 1-5, Florida Atlantic (6-6 SU, 7-5 ATS) won five of its last six games to become bowl eligible. In addition, the Owls were 4-2 ATS in their 6 games.  FAU’s last game was a 57-50 home win over FIU as 5 ½-point favorites. FAU quarterback Rusty Smith threw for 389 yards and 5 touchdowns. Cortez Gent had 7 receptions for 108 yards and 3 TDs, while Jamari Grant caught 7 balls for 80 yards and a pair of TDs.

Central Michigan was playing great football…as a matter of fact, they took a six-game winning streak into a game with then undefeated Ball State.  The Chippewas fought hard, but eventually lost 31-24 and fell out of MAC championship contention.  CMU then lost its regular-season finale 56-52 at Eastern Michigan as 10-point home underdogs.  Junior quarterback Dan LeFevour threw 4 touchdown passes and ran for another, while wide receiver Antonio Brown had seven receptions for 172 yards and one TD.

This is the second straight bowl game for FAU in only 8 seasons as a football program.  The Owls enjoyed their breakout season in 2007, winning the Sun Belt Conference and beating Memphis 44-27 as 3-point favorites in the New Orleans Bowl.  The Owls have been underdogs 6 times this season, posting a 2-4 ATS record.

So who covers the spread in tonight’s game?  FiveStarPick.com is here to help. Aren’t you tired of getting cold called by services that tell you about their 750,000 star play that’s a guaranteed winner. Here is a bit of advice…NOTHING is guaranteed when you are betting on sports.  These so called “handicappers” call 500 people a day and give them all a free play; 250 people will get FAU +6.5 and 250 will get CMU -6.5.  After the game ends, they call back the 250 people who won and pitch them on charging thousands of dollars to their credit cards for more guaranteed winners.   We are not your typical sports handicapping service.  We care about our members and we live and die on every play. Why?  Because we are moving thousands of dollars of our own money on the same plays we give you. Gambling on sports is how we make our living.  Do we win every play?  Absolutely not and we will never pretend to.  Our plays are always posted for all to see, including our losing streaks. But by the end of the year we always seem to have a few hundred thousand dollars of the sportsbook’s money in our casino account.  Let us try and do the same for you.  Join our family of winners today and start your winning streak tonight.
