College Bowl Plays of the Day: Texas and Alamo Bowl
Wednesday, December 29, 2010 at 8:42AM How about taking a pair of Big XII teams today with easy wins.
The Texas Bowl - Baylor
In what is almost a home game for Baylor, they face an Illinois team that is erratic as the winter weather.
Baylor is favored by 1, and they will cover that with ease. The Bears really have a breakout season in the Big XII, and they keep recruiting well for the future. They are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite. This bodes well for today and a cover over Ill.
The Alamo Bowl - Oklahoma St.
The Cowboys have an offense, that is quite offensive. They have a super trio that includes running back Kendall Hunter, quarterback Brandon Weeden and wide receiver Justin Blackmon. They pile up yards and score touchdowns.
Depending on where you look Okie St. is favored by 4.5 or 5. it doesn't matter, they have moretalent than Arizona and playig in San Antonio should attract a lot of Cowboy fans.
Other key trends: Arizona is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games on grass, and Oklahoma St. is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games overall.
Take the Cowboys!
