- The Ohio State Buckeyes will be relying on a backup quarterback in this game, as Kyle McCord has announced a transfer to Syracuse.
- This game feels like a huge step down for Ohio State despite being a New Year’s Six bowl, while Missouri will take this very seriously as they don’t have the same history of football success.
This year’s Cotton Bowl Classic is a fascinating matchup, as Missouri vs Ohio State will take center stage to start the New Year’s Six. In this contest, we like the Missouri Tigers to win and cover the spread as a slight favorite. While Ohio State still has a world of talent on the field for this game, they are relying on a backup quarterback with Kyle McCord having hit the transfer portal. That will reduce the impact of Marvin Harrison Jr. and will help Missouri come away with a huge victory for their program.
