Bowl: Independence Bowl
Teams: Alabama vs. Okie St
Line: Okie St -3 O/U 48
My Play: OVER the total of 48
Amount: 330 to win 300
GAME NOTES: The Oklahoma State Cowboys and the Alabama Crimson Tide are set to collide in the PetroSun Independence Bowl in Shreveport, Louisiana. Oklahoma State owns a mediocre 6-6 record, but the team has been much better than that mark suggests. Four of the games were decided on the final play, and the six teams that have defeated the Cowboys are all headed to bowl games with combined records of 53-21. They are 10-6 all-time in bowl games and will attempt to halt a two-game postseason losing skid. Oklahoma State is making its fourth bowl appearance in the last five years, the most successful stretch for the program since the 1980s. The Cowboys have played only five games against SEC opponents since 1981. Alabama, a member of that SEC conference, also owns a 6-6 overall record, and the team will be led by interim coach Joe Kines, as he is taking the place of the fired Mike Shula. The Crimson Tide won their first three games of the season, but things seemed to fall apart from that point on. When the squad lost its final three outings, including a setback to arch-rival Auburn, Shula paid the price. Alabama is set to take part in its NCAA-leading 54th bowl appearance, and it has more bowl wins (30) than any other team. This Independence Bowl marks the third straight postseason appearance for the Crimson Tide, a feat that has not been accomplished since the program reached 10 straight bowl games from 1985 to 1994. This game marks the first-ever meeting between the Crimson Tide and the Cowboys on the gridiron.
Prediction: Bama 27 Okie St 24
