As of this moment, Cincinnati is a 13.5 point underdog to Alabama over at Draft Kings.com.
I think the smart money is on Cincinnati in this one. We are lucky to be playing Bama in the Cotton Bowl.
Your Cincinnati Bearcats have never played in the Cotton Bowl. It’s tabula rasa for us.
Alabama has a much different relationship with the game.
Despite all of Bama’s success in bowl games, the Cotton Bowl has never been their strongest suit.
In almost every other major bowl game, Alabama has a winning record (Bama lost their only appearance in the Fiesta Bowl, back in 1990).
