The Cotton Bowl has put together two exciting teams for one of the most famous bowls on the slate. The Oklahoma St. Cowboys take on the Ole Miss Rebels to see who will emerge the winner of the Cotton Bowl. 

Oklahoma St put together a 9-3 campaign and had to do it without one of its best players. Dez Bryant was lost for the year due to violations that occurred during the season. The once powerful offense took a hit but they still managed to play well in the Big 12 against tough opposition. When it came to the betting window they finished .500 (5-5-1) against the number. 

Ole Miss brought in Houston Nutt and he brought the rebels to the Promised Land with big wins in the SEC and being ranked during the season. They finished a respectable 8-4 but just .500 (6-6) against the spread. 

This game provides us with a unique situation because Oklahoma St is ranked #21 in the country yet they are underdogs to the Ole Miss Rebels and they are not ranked. The non-ranked favorite over a ranked team angles has been very profitable in the past when the favorite is bet on. The Cowboy offense has struggled in the last three outings just averaging 18 points a contest and Jevon Snead and the Rebels offense has been rolling right along. The Rebels are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 bowl games and 7-0 ATS in their last 7 non-conference games. The Cowboys are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog and will lose another one in the Cotton Bowl.
