Cot­ton Bowl Odds a Spread Record

In a clas­sic rematch of the 1964 Orange Bowl, the Cot­ton Bowl odds in Dal­las, Texas have pit­ted two of the most nation­ally acclaimed teams in col­lege sports with Nebraska and Auburn in a test of two pow­er­ful defen­sive teams. The first Cot­ton Bowl odds activ­ity showed Auburn as a three point favorite only to move to 1.5, mak­ing the Tigers a pretty neat bet. Odd­s­mak­ers and bet­tors found this line arrange­ment a bit pecu­liar, given the fact about 70 per­cent of all bets were placed on Auburn. One could only con­clude that there was a lack of research done with band­wagon fans that jumped on Nebraska.

Dur­ing the reg­u­lar sea­son, Nebraska enjoyed suc­cess – post­ing a 9–4 record after a start in which they beat two poor teams to kick the year off. With a false sense of con­fi­dence, the team went into USC sta­dium and got its socks blown off with a 28–10 loss. This forced Nebraska to come out strong win­ning the next four in the row and almost beat­ing Texas before com­ing down to Earth in a loss to Okla­homa State. After three more wins, Nebraska dis­man­tled another before meet­ing Okla­homa in the Big 12 cham­pi­onship. Although the Cot­ton Bowl odds favored a Nebraska team that was improv­ing, many fans felt they had a ways to go after post­ing a 7–4-1 against the spread record.

With the Cot­ton Bowl odds, Auburn did not share the same pub­lic scrutiny as Nebraska did in its per­for­mance. Many enthu­si­asts thought Auburn was the best team in the coun­try hands down. Although the team’s play was unstop­pable at times, they did lose to Arkansas and Geor­gia. The “against the spread” num­bers for Auburn wasn’t so favor­able either, post­ing a 5–6 record. Auburn’s biggest prob­lem head­ing into Cot­ton Bowl odds time was its offense sit­u­a­tion, hold­ing a stan­dard run­ning back and a sub par quar­ter­back in Bran­don Cox. He had a pen­chant for ruin­ing the big games, as evi­dent by his 2006 poor per­for­mance against Geor­gia with four inter­cep­tions. All in all, the Cot­ton Bowl odds pit­ted two fine (but flawed, at times) teams against each other in this excit­ing Cot­ton Bowl odds ting cham­pi­onship game.
