Can anyone give me a good reason not to be on Oklahome huge this weekend? I just dont understand where this line is coming from. The Huskers do not have a chance in this game. I thought that when the line came out it would have been around 14-17. Post your thoughts.

Nebraska's D is no joke, and their D-Line is better than Oklahoma's O-Line.
Much like USC, Oklahoma is in a weaken state this year. If your going to beat them, this is the year to gun for them.
I'm not saying Nebraska wins, but they are a Tyrod last second TD, and 5 turnovers in the red-zone away from being (7-1). If Nebraska pulls off both of those wins people would be saying take Nebraska this week.
Oklahoma is still a great team, but INJ's have made this team vulnerable.
I'm taking the UNDER once they release the lines. It will fall quick.Comment -
The fact of the matter is that the Big 12 is very bad this year. OU has had problems on the offensive line and has been held to 20 poins or less three times. Anything can happen in the Big 12 except Texas losing. This line seems about right. I do not believe in excuse making, so as far as I am concerned, Nebraska is nothing special. I do not want to hear about what if's. Nebraska has lost two games at home to average to poor teams. They should be a bigger dog.Comment -
also kansas state played close ou, but i like oklahoma covering this and winning by 10 due their D can shut down the huskers offenseComment -
I hear what u are sayin Houlihans but in my mind I really dont think that the Nebraska is all cracked up to what people think they are. They do have a good D but their offense is very bad. The only reason that I say that their D is not what people think is because Nebraska has not really played that great of teams. Look at their schedule, Florida Atlantic, Arkansas State, Virginia Tech, Louisiana, Missouri, Texas Tech, Iowa State and Baylor. The only Good team that they have played in my mind is Texas Tech who pounded em 31-10. Both Missouri and Virginia Tech were both overated teams and are not that great. I think if u are going off those teams then of course their D is gonna look good. I just think that Oklahoma is going to be too much for the Huskers this week.Comment -
HUGE HUSKER FAN HERE.......... I have watched every game this year. Nebraska has a great D. Argue with me all you want..... but Nebraska has one of the top #15 defenses. HOWEVER!!!! Nebraska has some serious problems on offense this year! We could only score 1 offensive TD against Iowa State..... and only 1 against Baylor. Two of the worst teams in the Big 12 and Nebraska couldnt score. I still cant believe what happened in that Iowa State game. Anyway, last week Nebraska decided to pull the plug on QB Lee and go with Freshman (and fan favorite) Green. However, that didnt change anything. Nebraska was still only able to get the ball in the endzone ONE TIME against Baylor. Now Nebraska plays their biggest rival at home. You can talk about home field advantage..... but Texas Tech sure didnt seem to mind coming into Lincoln and giving the Huskers a 31-10 beating at home. Oklahoma DOMINATED NU last year scoring 35 points IN THE FIRST QUARTER in a 62-28 blowout. I dont see Oklahoma scoring 62 points in Lincoln this year....... but I also dont see ANY WAY that the Huskers score 28 either. If Texas Tech can put up 31 points on the Huskers then I dont see why OU cant do the same. If Texas Tech can hold the Huskers to 10 points at home I dont see how we ever SCORE against OU.
SO...... as a HUGE HUSKER FAN...... in my opinion.... I'm looking for a 28-7 OU win in Lincoln.Comment -
I really think this line ends up at around 9 or so...... might be a good idea to bet a bundle on OU -6 and then NU +9Comment -
just took an ou -6 , ku -3 and ok st. parlay. took them all seperate as well. all playing bad teams.Comment -
Yes, I have watched Nebraska all year as well. Their defense, I believe, is in the top ten nationally. However, the offense is terrible. For starters, they have no running game (unlike the teams of yore). They lost a fantastic back, Quentin Castille, because he was doing something extracurricular in his free time (no one will comment and coach Bo Pelini kicked him), Roy Helu, the first string back is having shoulder problems and has had very few carries as of late, and what would have been the third back, Rex Burkhead, broke his foot and will be out for the season, likely. Therefore, they lost their top three backs. The line is usually good, but with no run attack (especially with Quarterback Zac Lee who is not mobile) teams load up on the pass, and most of those are thrown around the line of scrimmage. Very basic offense. I'm a huge husker fan but, sadly, I think oklahoma covers here. However, and have to say it, look out for Nebraska in the next few years.Comment -
I am from Lincoln and have watched the huskers play all year and while I do think that thier D is good I dont think that they are a top ten D in the nation. The only reason that the Huskers D have great numbers is because they have not plyed a good high powered offense that really put up points besides Texas Tech and we all know what happened their. If Texas Tech can put up 31 on the Huskers high nationally ranked D then watch out because OU will put up 40-50 in my mind. I do agree that OU will cover easily. Jump on it now before it moves to 9 or 10Comment -
I have watched every game, and we really do not have a chance to cover in my opinion. My best bet was nebraska - the 12 last week, and we didn't even cover that line. Our offense can't score a td if we start at the other teams 15 yard line against a good team. I love oklahoma, but I did love nebraska last week so take it for what it's worth.Comment -
Can you believe that the OU line has dropped to -5.5??? People are actually betting on Nebraska???? I'm the biggest Nebraska fan out there..... but come on! I'm betting big on OU! They moved that game to 7pm so half the grey hairs in the stadium will be asleep at half time!Comment -
I totally agree Husker, I think OU gives the Huskers a beat down this weekend. I can not believe that the line is still sitting around 5.5-6, it just doesn't make any sense. I already took OU on Monday but the more I think about this game I will be going even bigger with this line.Comment -
you missing that okc -6 will lost.Comment -
Seriously...... as a Husker fan...... I'm starting to have hope here. OU is now favored by 4???????? WHAT!??!?! Does Nebraska really have a chance to win this game?? Did OU's D die in a plane crash? What am I missing here??? Nebraska had high hopes at the beginning of the year. We were picked to win the Big 12 North. (but still knew we couldnt beat Texas or OU in the Big 12 Champ game) We figured the VTech game was a coin flip. We figured OU was a loss. Every other game was winable. NOW.... after a heartbreaking loss to VTech...... a thumping by Texas Tech.... and an 8 turnover loss to Iowa State...... Husker fans are scatching their heads. What happened to our offense?? We have scored 1 offensive TD in our last 3 games. We were losing 12-0 after 3 quarters against Mizz. We kicked 5 field goals against VTech in a 16-15 loss. OU beat Kansas 35-13 at Kansas and Kst 42-30 at home. How does Nebraska have a CHANCE in this game?? I'm a huge fan but I still say OU wins big here. WHAT AM I MISSING??? I would love to see NU win! But my money has to go to OU -4 now??? Wow.Comment -
I'll be happy if the Huskers win. My money is on OU. I'll be a winner either way. I'll kill myself if OU wins by 3!

This line makes zero sense to me. I'm thinking people are thinking that Nebraska is on the way back and OU doesn't have Bradford. This seems crazy to me as I think OU is going to roll by 20+.
I can't figure this out but I'm not going to out think the room. I'm hammering OU for a dime fellas. If my early games hold up, I'm going to roll some massive cheddar on this one. BOLComment -
Bet OU....the line is moving the wrong way and Mac4Lyfe is right.Comment -
Castille got kicked off the team because he failed 5 drug test btw. It was pretty known why he was kicked off the team if you are from NebraskaComment
