When was the last time Bob Stoops won a big time game, against a team of the same caliber?
Big 12 is a total clusterfuk this year folks. UCLA beat TX. TX beat Nebraska. Oklahoma beat TX, Mizzou beats Okla.....

I think this team is better all around. Mizzou's defense has a history of being garbage, but its better now.
Please dont bring up Oklahoma when they had Bradford at QB. Landry Jones is not to be trusted.

i will admit landry is iffy...i have never liked him. Either way the only edge i give to mizzou is that ou's secondary is easily exploited; they are better rounded than two years ago, although i think their offense is less explosive. Still would lean toward ou

OU strength is their running game, but Mizzou run defense is their strength.
Those factors should equal each other out. The yards will be found through the air, and Mizzou excels at that.
Oklahoma is playing their first true road game, and its a night game which gives Mizzou even more of an advantage.
After I saw Mizzou manhandle Texas A&M(not a very good team) I knew they would be ready for this game. The TX A&M game had look-ahead written all over it, but Mizzou dominated for the on-set.
Mizzou is equal to, or greater than Oklahoma. Add homefield advantage, and OU having to deal with being #1 in the BCS I see a Mizzou outright win.

i don't know what point i'm trying to make here, but this crappy ou secondary everyone keeps talking about had two end zone interceptions in the cincinnati game, without which they more than likely would have lost the game.
anyway, good luck with missouri dude. it looks like the right side from a gambling perspective, but they really have yet to be tested at all. hopefully they pass.

You haven't given one reason as to why you think Mizzou will win the game. You then said OU wasn't even a top 20 team which made you lose more credibility.
People can take Mizzou based on "well, a lot of teams have been getting upset lately..". I'll take the team that has played the tougher schedule, is currently ranked #1, has a better coaching staff, and has better athletes on both sides of the ball.
I'm not saying that this game is a slam dunk for OU. Mizzou is certainly capable of pulling an upset at home. With that said, if this game was played 10 times, OU would probably cover the spread in 7 of them. I certainly like those odds.
If people like Mizzou and have reasons for it then I can respect that but at least have something to back up your opinion.
By you stating the lne should be closer to 7, or 8 would be enough to make me nervous. Better get out of that bet, or at least lower it. IMO / FYI

I was leaning OU, but it may be a no play for me. If you had to pick ONE team to straight up win tomorrow, with a ML if -350 or less, who would it be?

Good call.
OU completely shit the bed tonight. Two turnovers in the red zone. Horrible special teams (Mizzou ran back opening kick). Tons of penalties.
Oregon would beat both of these teams 56-3.

I give it up to the OP. I knew OU was overrated, they're very young, but I didn't think Mizzou was that good and I thought OU would win.
Props. You were right I was wrong. Good job.
