Valero Alamo Bowl

No. 12 Oklahoma State (9-3, 7-2 Big 12) vs. No. 10 Colorado (10-3, 8-1 Pac-12)

Dec. 29 – 9 p.m., ESPN

Alamodome, San Antonio

Average Line: Colorado, -3

Naturally, we’ve got to save the best for last.

Most analysts see this as one of the most competitive games of the bowl season and it also features two schools that had a chance to play for much more this season.

That said, it sets up for an exciting game between two high-powered offenses. The difference, in my opinion, will be the defense of Colorado, specifically the secondary. Look for Ahkello Witherspoon, Chidobe Awuzie and Tedric Thompson to all make some plays in this game and one of them will come up with a key interception in the fourth quarter to help the Buffs get their first bowl win in over a decade.

Prediction: Colorado 28, Oklahoma State 24
