After three consecutive losses, Southern Miss found a way to enter the bowl season with a 6-6 record thanks to a win in the last game against UL Monroe. This year, the Golden Eagles left Conference USA to play in the Sun Belt Conference and now they will meet with a very familiar foe: Rice. They’re 6.5-point favorites.

Rice are living their worst moment of the season following three straightgames without a win (Western Kentucky, UTSA and North Texas). However, the Owls will play the LendingTree Bowl even aftera 5-7 record. There was a lack of teams with six wins and Rice got in because of their highest APR. So, in an incredible turn of events, Rice are in a bowl game for the first time since 2014. Rice have won the last two meetings between these teams and the all-time series is 6-6.
