[Capital One Bowl Matchup Stats]
The South Carolina Gamecocks and the Nebraska Cornhuskers enter the Capital One Bowl looking to end their season on a high note after failing to reach higher preseason expectations.
South Carolina overcame an injury to star running back Marcus Lattimore to finish the season with a respectable 10-2 SU record (6-6 ATS). Nebraska was in the hunt for the Big Ten Legends Division with a 7-1 SU start to the season (3-5 ATS), but finished 2-2 SU (1-2-1 ATS) down the stretch including a loss as a 17.5-point favorite at home to Northwestern.
Connor Shaw did a solid job leading the offense after Marcus Lattimore went down. Shaw finished the season with 1,218 passing yards and 12 touchdowns with six interceptions after taking over the starting job from Stephen Garcia.
On the trends side, the Big Ten is 5-2 SU in the past 7 Capital One Bowls vs SEC schools. Favorites are also 2-0-1 ATS past 3. [ Up to $100 free wager bonus on your favorite bowl team, check out the huge launch party promotion at ]

Without leading receiver B.J. Cunningham the Michigan State Spartans aren’t getting much of a chance by oddsmakers as the Alabama Crimson Tide are big 10-point favorites in the Capital One Bowl odds.
Capital One Bowl
Saturday, January 1 @ 1:00pm ET
Citrus Bowl, Orlando, Florida
Team: Alabama Crimson Tide
Conference: Southeastern Conference
Records: 8-3 SU, 6-5 ATS, 3-7-1 OU
Team: Michigan State Spartans
Conference: Big Ten Conference
Records: 11-1 SU, 6-5 ATS, 5-6 OU
Spread / Total (from SBG Global)
Alabama -10 / 52 Points
[Capital One Bowl Matchup Stats]
Alabama led the SEC in points allowed per game at 14.1 and yards allowed per game at 296, and more of that type of defense should make the Crimson Tide the strong favorite to cover the NCAAF odds for the bowl matchup.
The Crimson Tide also sports a balanced attack on offense with wide receiver and second-team All-American Julio Jones being the focal point of that passing game. He had a record-setting year at the school with 75 catches for 1,084 yards, with seven of Greg McElroy’s 19 TD passes.

Alabama has alternated wins and losses in eight bowl appearances, but this team looks poised to garner a lot of attention among college football betting enthusiasts. The Crimson Tide tied for the conference lead with just 14 turnovers, and may need more of that to ensure victory over the ailing Spartans.
Michigan State needs its highly-ranked defense to hold the fort long enough for them to get under the skin of an Alabama offense that put up big yards per game with 435.6 this season.
Senior linebacker Greg Jones can be that thorn in the side of McElroy - as he led the team with 98 tackles and is the only AP first-team all-star on either team. Michigan State was third-best in the Big Ten with 337.8 yards allowed per game, and cutting the Crimson Tide's offensive average down by nearly 100 yards in this bowl game will be a huge task.
The Spartans are also going against their bowl odds, having dropped four straight in the postseason. [ Matchup Stats ]
