Missouri vs. Navy College Bowl Picks: The Missouri Tigers (8-4) of the Big 12 will play Navy (8-4) in the 4th annual edition of the Texas Bowl on New Years Eve at Reliant Stadium in Houston with a 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff. The game will be televised nationally on ESPN.  College Bowl Picks oddsmakers at Sportsbook.com installed Missouri as 6 1/2-chalk ATS and -250 moneyline favorites with a 54 1/2 total. Navy features the nation's 3rd-ranked rushing offense, as the Midshipmen average 279.67 yards per game on the ground. That provides an interesting matchup on paper, as Mizzou's defense has excelled at stopping the run in 2009, ranking 12th in the NCAA in rushing defense, allowing just 96.42 yards per game. Navy has signature wins this season at Notre Dame (23-21) and Air Force (16-13 in overtime at home), and they also took Ohio State to the limit to open the season, before falling 31-27 in Columbus, Ohio. The Tigers will take part in a school-record fifth straight bowl game, when they face the Midshipmen. Navy is making its 7th consecutive bowl game appearance. College Football Picks: We like Navy to cover as a 6 1/2 chalk dog. The Triple-Option will give Missouri plenty of trouble in this game.
