The 2013 AT&T Cotton Bowl takes place on Jan. 4 as the No. 9 Texas A&M Aggies tangle with the No. 11 Oklahoma Sooners.

Thoughts: The Aggies defeated Missouri in their regular season finale while the Sooners took care of TCU. These two schools have battled for years as A&M was a part of the Big 12. I like the Aggies to win here and cover. With that said, I expect this game to be close throughout with Texas A&M to get a late touchdown for the victory.
