Chris Fallica plants his flag for the Cotton Bowl Classic, making a bold and shocking prediction that heavily favors the underdog Miami Hurricanes against the Ohio State Buckeyes. 

The noted FOX analyst, known as "The Bear," argued that the current point spread is "completely disrespectful" to Miami and gave them a great chance to win outright.

Chris Fallica Plants His Flag for the Cotton Bowl Classic: The Bold Take

In his definitive stance, Chris Fallica plants his flag for the Cotton Bowl Classic by challenging the consensus. He declared that Ohio State being favored by 9.5 points is a mispriced line, stating, 

I think that the Miami defensive line is going to be a problem for Ohio State. This is by far the second-best opponent Ohio State has faced all year. I think the Canes have a great chance to win the game. 

His analysis hinges on Miami's defensive front disrupting an Ohio State offensive line that struggled in its last outing against Indiana.

Context and Counterpoints

Chris Fallica plants his flag for the Cotton Bowl Classic against recent history. Last season, a two-loss Ohio State team entered the playoff as a question mark and proceeded to dominate its way to a championship.

The Buckeyes are again motivated by a bitter loss to Indiana in their last game. 

While acknowledging Miami's defensive strength, the counter-narrative is that Ohio State possesses another gear in postseason play and its offensive line has a prime opportunity for redemption. 

The final storyline will be written at the line of scrimmage in Dallas.
