Oklahoma State’s improved defense, one that held its opponents to just 18.2 ppg when playing away from home this season, is the reason why the Cowboys were 7-4 to the Under in all lined games this season. Additionally, Ole Miss’ defense wasn’t too shabby, allowing just 18.6 ppg on the season. Neither of these teams had the seasons they expected to have, but I expect them to really battle it out in this one. You also have to like the fact that plays Under on all teams where the total is between 49.5 and 56 (Oklahoma State) in major bowl games (played in January), in a non-conference game between two teams from major FBS conferences are 12-2 the last 5 seasons. Zooming in even closer we see that this system is a perfect 6-0 the last 3 seasons. We’ll bet the Under in this one.
