A fifth straight bowl appearance and a top-ranked offense are enough for most sportsbooks to list the Oklahoma State Cowboys as 5-point favorites on the Alamo Bowl odds against the Arizona Wildcats.

Oklahoma State -5 / 65.5 Points

[Alamo Bowl Matchup Stats]

Oklahoma State shared the Big 12 South division title, exceeding everyone’s expectations en route to this bowl appearance. College football betting lines fluctuate with some books at 4.5 and some as high as 6-point edges for the Cowboys in this one.

The 16th-ranked Cowboys are considered the road team for the Alamo Bowl and are 5-0 on the road against the spread. Oklahoma State boasted the top offense in the entire FBS with 537.6 yards per game, and ranked third in points with 44.9.

Justin Blackmon will be a threat that Arizona will need to tame if it has any shot at this game. Blackmon led the nation with 151.4 yards receiving per game with 18 TD catches. Quarterback Brandon Weeden was second in the country in passing yards per game and ranked fifth in touchdown passes.

These offensive dynamos will probably have most bettors taking the NCAAF odds in this game and the betting lines will more than likely tip in favor of Oklahoma State.

Arizona was on a roll and possibly heading toward a BCS title shot, but four straight losses to end the season left them facing an uphill battle against this potent offense of the Cowboys.

Arizona was at 7-1 before they fumbled down the stretch. Junior QB Nick Foles led the Pac-10 in passing with 291.1 yards per game, and must regain his form at the quarterback position. And if they get league-leading receiver Juron Criner, who had 73 catches for 1,186 yards, involved, they could defy the oddsmakers.

Totals bettors should note these teams have piled up points all season with 15 of their combined 23 games making winners of OVER bettors.
