On Friday in the Cotton bowl the Power Play is on Oklahoma. St. Game 261 at 8:00 eastern. Oklahoma St. has now become the favorite and that sets up the favorite with the worse record system which has these favored teams at 46-12 straight up. Ok. St has some nice numbers in this one and a defensive edge. They have won the last 3 in the series with Missouri and are 5-1 off a conference loss. Coach Gundy has won 9 straight off a favored loss. The Cowboys are 23-5 on turf and have won 3 of the last 4 vs winning teams. Missouri fits some negative system that pertain to teams entering a bowl game if they lost and scored 35 or more points if they are a favorite or dog of 3 or less. Bowl teams in general do not play well after allowing 50 or more points last out. The Tigers have lost 21 of the last 28 vs BIG 12 Teams. The Tigers are allowing 470 yards in games away from home and that could be the difference here. These two met 2 years ago when both were good teams and OK.St won by 20+ points. Look for them to get teh cash on the Cotton bowl.
