Who Wins the Boca Raton Bowl?

?BOCA RATON, FLA. - Memphis and Western Kentucky will meet for the sixth time overall in the Boca Raton Bowl on Tuesday, December 20, 2016. Kickoff at FAU Stadium is set for 6 p.m. and will air nationally on ESPN. 

Here are three reasons why WKU will come out on top in this matchup.

The Hilltoppers are 4-1 all-time in bowl games. One of those wins came in the state of Florida last year thanks to a 45-35 win over South Florida in the Miami Beach Bowl.

Since the three game-winning streak, the Tigers have lost four of their last six bowl games including a 41 to 14 rout against South Florida in the 2008 St. Petersburg Bowl.

WKU will be playing in Boca Raton, Fla., for the fifth time. They're used to that stadium due to the fact that they play Florida Atlantic in Conference USA. Even though Head Coach Jeff Brohm has accepted the head coach position at Purdue University, I'm pretty confident that Mike White and the high-powered offense will get it done in what will be a shootout.
