No .14 Oklahoma State Cowboys vs. Arizona Wildcats Cornhuskers Preview<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oklahoma State (10-2) narrowly missed out on their chance to play in the Big 12 title game and have a shot at their first ever BCS game, but they lost to rival Oklahoma in their season finale. However, they can cap off their best season in history by getting to 11 wins with a win over Arizona (7-5), who stumbled at the end of the regular season. College football betting lines have Oklahoma State as 5.5-point favorites in this game with a total of 66.<\/p>\n

In their last games of the season each lost to in-state rivals with Oklahoma State losing to Oklahoma 47-41 and Arizona losing a heartbreaker to Arizona State 30-29 in OT.<\/p>\n

This season the Cowboys were a solid bet going 9-3 ATS while Arizona was only 4-7 ATS. OSU is 5-1 ATS in their last 5 games after scoring at least 40 points in their previous game and Arizona is only 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a loss.<\/p>\n

Arizona was playing great at 7-1 and was ranked in the top 20, but they really fell apart losing the last 4 games of the season. The Wildcats\u2019 offense kept up their end of the bargain, but their D did not. They had a great defense ranking in the top 10 in the nation after 8 games, but in their 4-game skid they gave up 36 points per game. If their defensive struggles continue in the Alamo Bowl they may be in big trouble facing an OSU offense that led the nation in yards per game and was 3rd in the nation in points per game.<\/p>\n

To show how potent the OSU offense is they faced one team this season with a great defense in Nebraska and while they lost the game they put up 41 points and 495 yards against a Huskers\u2019 squad that ranked 8th in the nation in scoring defense only allowing an average of 17.2 ppg. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To say the Cowboys have a dynamic offense is a MAJOR understatement, as in 8 of their 12 games this season they scored at least 40 points. They have 2 first team All Americans in WR Justin Blackmon and RB Kendall Hunter and QB Brandon Weeden racked up the 2nd most passing yards per game (336.4) and was 5th in TD (32) and was a first team All Big 12 selection.<\/p>\n

The Wildcats have the nation\u2019s 42nd ranked pass defense and in their last game of the season they gave up 266 yards through the air to Arizona State and they have to play better in this game.<\/p>\n

Arizona really struggled down the stretch defending the run and while they rank a legit 39th in the nation they gave up 233.25 rushing yards in their 4-game slide at the end of the season. That is not good facing Kendall Hunter, who averaged just over 126 yards per game. Basically, the Wildcats have to play good overall D and if they play like they did at the end of this season they will likely get killed.<\/p>\n

With the big problems on the defensive side of the ball Arizona\u2019s offense may have to bail them out and get into a high-scoring game. There is a good chance that will happen, as the strength of the Wildcats\u2019 offense is their 9th ranked passing offense while the Cowboys\u2019 pass D was torched all season and ranked 115th. QB Nick Foles will have to be THE guy in this game and he led the Pac 10 with 291.1 passing yards per game. Pac 10 first team selection WR Juron Criner is his main target and he ended the season 73 receptions and 1,186 yards and 10 TD.<\/p>\n

The Arizona offensive line has to protect Foles and the OSU pass rush is decent ranking 58th in the nation with 24 sacks. The Wildcats ranked 79th in the nation allowing 27 sacks and if the Cowboys\u2019 pass rush can get to Foles it will take a ton of pressure off their weak secondary.<\/p>\n

Foles could really use some help from the rushing offense, especially lead back Keola Antolin, but in his last 3 games he did not average 4 yards per carry. On top of that the Cowboys have a pretty good run defense ranking 41st in the nation.<\/p>\n

OSU will dominate this game from the get go and while their D will totally contain Foles the Cowboys will still win easily in a high scoring affair. Not only will OSU cover the spread, but the Over pick is also the way to go. Oklahoma State has an Over record of 8-3 in their s last 11 games as a favorite and Arizona has an Over record of 5-1 in their last 6 games overall.<\/p>\n

Pick<\/strong>: Oklahoma State -5.5 and the Over, definitely the Over!<\/p>\n
