2009 Cotton Bowl Handicapping

Cotton Bowl Breakdown – Ole Miss vs Texas Tech

The 2009 Cotton Bowl will be the last for the historic Cotton bowl which after this 73rd annual bowl will move to the new Texas Stadium. After being left out of the bcs picture they have to find new revenue streams thus moving to state of the art facility is mandated. This years game features another classic sec vs big 12 matchup. Texas Tech and Ole Miss are very different in styles and should create a hugely interesting matchup.

Oddsmakers also think this will be a very close game as Tech is only favored by four points.
