Alamo Bowl Betting Preview: Northwestern vs. MissouriAlamo Bowl Betting PreviewNorthwestern (9-4) vs. Missouri (9-3) Monday, 8:00 pm Eastern - ESPN SBG Global Opening Line: Missouri -14.5, Total 64 Two Top 25 teams with potent offenses get together on Monday as 22nd ranked Northwestern faces 25th ranked Missouri. The Tigers had what could be considered a disappointing season considering they expected to be playing in a BCS bowl game this season. Quarterback Chase Daniel and receiver Jeremy Maclin had good years but the Tigers defense was a sieve, giving up a ton of points. Missouri was ranked as high as #3 this season but lost four of their last eight games including the Big 12 title game to Oklahoma. "It's going to sting for a while and why wouldn't it?" Daniel said, "But we can finish off in style. When was the last time a Missouri team won 10 games back-to-back in history? Never. We still have a chance to make history."

Most of the players and coaches for Missouri are not saying the year was a letdown even though it was. "Well, I don't think that," head coach Gary Pinkel said. "Do I wish the regular season would have ended up that we were 11-1 instead of 9-3? Yeah, we should have done that. But I think we had a good year. ... My players battle, and I'm not going to in any way say that we didn't have a good year. We had a great year." Northwestern enters the bowl game with a much better frame of mind. Nothing was expected of the Wildcats but they surprised everyone to finish 9-3, including winning their finale against Illinois 27-10. "To be at nine wins right now with an opportunity for number ten, the opportunity to achieve our main goal this year - to win a bowl game - is all right here in front of us," said head coach Pat Fitzgerald. Northwestern has not won a bowl game since 1949. "I think, if anything, (the bowl drought) will provide a little extra motivation," senior quarterback C.J. Bacher said. "At the beginning of the year we set out to win a bowl game and we've put ourselves in a position to do that." SBG Global Current Line: Missouri -12.5, Total 66.5 Northwestern and Missouri are playing for the first time since 1987. The all-time series is tied at 4-4.
