FiveStarPick.com looks to continue its college bowl dominance as we give our members the winner of today’s 2 bowl games.  The focus our our preview is the Alamo bowl which matches up the Missouri Tigers with the Northwestern Wildcats.  Las Vegas sportsbooks are listing the Tigers as 12 ½-point favorites with the total set at 66.

The Missouri Tiger Senior Chase Daniel is ranked 7th in the nation in passing efficiency with a rating of 164.8 in 2008 and his offense is 6th in the country with 497.5 yards per game. Daniel’s favorite targets are wide receiver Jeremy Maclin and tight end Chase Coffman.  Maclin boasts 95 catches for 1,221 yards and 12 touchdowns and Coffman has 83 catches this year for 920 yards and another 10 scores.

Those two receivers will be facing up against a Northwestern secondary that ranks 74th in the country giving up 215.3 YPG though the air.  But the Wildcats haven’t faced an attack this powerful all year.  The Wildcats will probably move out their linebackers to help cover Mizzou’s third and fourth receivers at the line, which will benefit Missouri’s RB Derrick Washington. The sophomore is averaging 76.3 YPG this season and 6.1 yards per carry. 

This is actually the first time these two schools have met since splitting a home-and-home series, both straight up and against the spread, during the 1985 and 1987 seasons. Northwestern has seemingly forgotten how to win a bowl game, losing its last five postseason appearances since winning the 1948 Rose Bowl over California.
