Ohio State are backed to win the Cotton Bowl by at least a single touchdown.
The Buckeyes look to be the most complete team in the playoffs and can punish a Texas team that continue to make life hard for themselves.

- Ohio State won their last two playoff games by an average of 22.5 points
- Texas are 3-6-0 ATS in their previous 9 games
- The Over has hit in all 4 playoff games involving either of these teams
Head To Head
- Texas lead the all-time series 2-1
- Texas won 24-21 when the two teams last met in January 2009
Ohio State Form
Ohio State have rebounded from the disappointing loss to Michigan with back-to-back wins to make the semi-finals of the College Football Playoffs.
The Buckeyes opened the season with five straight wins, only to see their run end with a 32-31 defeat at Big Ten newcomers Oregon.
They responded with another five-game tear that included a 20-13 win over Penn State, but again failed to make it six wins in a row as they were stunned by Michigan, 13-10.
Ohio State missed out on the conference championship because of that loss, but they did not miss out on a playoff place and their response has been strong.
The Buckeyes blew out Tennessee in the first round, 42-17, before avenging their regular season defeat to Oregon with a 41-21 win over the Ducks in the Rose Bowl.
Texas Form
Texas have bounced back from their SEC Championship Game defeat with a couple of playoff wins to make it to the semi-finals.
The Longhorns kicked off their campaign with six straight wins to establish themselves as the number one team in the nation, only to surrender that spot in mid-October.
They were beaten 30-15 at home by Georgia, but responded with a run of five straight wins to set up a rematch with the Bulldogs in the conference championship.
Texas were again beaten by Georgia, this time 22-19 in overtime, but they have not lost since.
The Longhorns rebounded with a 38-24 win over Clemson in the first round of the playoffs, before battling past Arizona State in the Peach Bowl, winning 39-31 in the second overtime.
Verdict
Ohio State were downright dominant against Oregon, sending a message to the final four.
Texas, on the other hand, continue to blow hot and cold in games, and we expect the Buckeyes to punish them for that in this one.
