Bowl Season Predictions, Part 13

The Cotton Bowl will be airing on FOX at 8:00 PM Friday night. The Texas A&M Aggies (10-2) will face the Oklahoma Sooners (10-2).  Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel leads the Aggies who are 3 ½ point favorites.

Johnny Manziel has completed 68.3% of his passes for 3,429 yards and 24 TDs vs 8 INTs. He’s also rushed for 1.181 yards and 19 TDs. Manziel and company will face a Sooner defense that is 25^th against the pass and 70^th against the run.

The Sooners are 4^th in the nation in passing offense. They’re 60^th in the nation in rushing, however so their overall offense is “just” 10^th in the nation. Compare that to the Aggies who are 14^th in passing and 13^th in rushing for an overall ranking of 3^rd in the nation on offense.

Landry Jones has thrown for 3,989 yards and 29 TDs for the Sooners. He’s also tossed 10 INTs. Damien Williams has rushed for 905 yards and 11 TDs.

My pick: Texas A&M
