    Oklahoma covering -4 1/2 jumps out at you when you look at the Saturday college football lineup.Am I onto something or just on something thinking this way?So what if the Sooners have a backup quarterback.If Iowa State whooped Nebraska's butt at Lincoln what will a real team do to them?Bo and his brother will be too busy fighting with each other on the sidelines than to worry about the game when they get 20 points behind in the first half.

    With QB issues that is why Oklahoma is not favored by more. This line does not make much sense but that line maker knows much more than I do.

      Don't know, but I have some square buddies all over Oklahoma if that is a barometer of sorts, but anything is possible. The squares are not always wrong I say it 60/40 for this matter I might consider Nebraska. There are better bets though

        I normally pass on these kinds lyon when the line just doesn't make much sense at all. You usually get burnt so I keep my money in my pocket. There is better games on Saturday than these games.

            I would not be shocked durito. That wouldn't be that big of an upset in my opinion.

              Like I said! If I was going to play it I would be on Nebraska. I know some squares on it, but if you don't like a 60% play then be my guess. Who here wouldn't take a 60% play. I don't know the exact percentage, but the guys I know are losers and they like Oklahoma here.

                This is a real good game to stay away from. Nebraska can easily win this game, if they do not give the ball away, but we all know their history. OU has quarterack issues, but have played well without Bradford. There are way too many intangables to wager on this game.

                    I think the play is Nebraska ML.

                      I've been watching this one all week as I thought the line might move the other way from the opening... After Dr. Bob released Nebraska as a four star the opportunity to bet Nebraska is gone IMO...

                          Nebraska lost the turnover battle 8-0 against Iowa St. They were -21 in that game and should of been favored by more. Oklahoma has very low motivation after having a disappointing season and they are not that good anyway.

                                  Landry Jones F'd that up. He threw 5 INT's, and Nebraska still couldnt create any separation.

                                  Good call though Durito, but Oklahoma is still the overwhelming better team.

                                      Ok guy. I'm just going to sit back and wait for that to come to fruition.

                                        As a huge Nebraska you even had me laughing at this...

                                          Basically I am predicting they beat Texas, beating kansas st. and probably Pittsburgh in the BCS is nothing. With the way Nebraska is playing on defense I don't see why them beating Texas would be a surprise at all, we will see.

                                            I agree they have a chance in all those games but on the other hand I think winning all those is still a long shot... Given the way their seasons gone I thnk it is hard to consider Kansas (who they are only favored by 4.5 right now) and Colorado easy wins either...

                                            As I placed a small bet on Nebraska on over 8 1/2 regular season wins (that I had already wrote off after Iowa State but somehow may pull off with them winning out the regular season) I hope your analysis turns out right...
