Nebraska Huskers vs. Oklahoma State Cowboys
Play: Nebraska Huskers -5½
Oklahoma State has certainly impressed on the surface TY. However, if you look closely, you will see that their level of competition has not been “top-shelf.” This is a tricky situation for the Cowboys. You see, sports fans, as a ‘dog, Oklahoma State won outright LW over Texas Tech while a heavily-favored Nebraska lost outright to Texas. The oddsmakers are looking at this game and giving the Cowboys too much credit and the Huskers not enough credit. Texas took down Nebraska LW because they are a defensive-oriented club that had an extra week to prepare for them. They caught the Cornhuskers in a tough spot. That isn’t the case here. Nebraska will control things against a defense that has yet to face a strong ground attack. Oklahoma State QB Weeden has had 3 straight outings with multiple INTs. Don’t forget that Nebraska has one of the NCAAs most ferocious defenses. They are giving up just 14.0 PPG. This is a team that held super-QB Jake Locker to a mere 4-20, 71 yards, and forced 2 INTs. The Cornhuskers come back with a vengeance. Nebraska is 7-1 ATS their L8 road games vs. teams with a winning home record while OSU is 7-24 ATS their L31 games played as a ‘dog of 3-10 ½ points and 0-6 ATS their L6 as a home ‘dog. Take the Cornhuskers.

Oklahoma at Missouri
Pick: Missouri +3
Oklahoma has had Missouri's number over the years. In fact they have won 19 of the last 20 games in the series, with Missouri's only win coming in 1998. But this year things are different as the Tigers do have close to the talent that Oklahoma has shown for years. The Missouri offense is underrated and is led by QB Blaine Gabbert but their defense is even more unheralded as they are the Big 12’s best at 10.8 points per game. The home crowd will be loud and wild and the Tigers get the cover and maybe the outright upset here. Oklahoma just 6-18 ATS after gaining 300 or more rushing yards while Missouri is 50-31 ATS after a game were they forced one or fewer turnovers.

Jason Sharpe. has now banked seven of eight profitable football weekends (big MNF blowout seals the deal) to start a great year. He is off to a sick 42-26 rush to begin the season (25-14 in the NFL lately) and has been as good as it gets. This week he is releasing his College Football Game of the Year. This is a pick from the MAC and it should be a complete and total blowout. That is now around $4,000 in profit for the season and he just continues to pound out consistent profit and we'll be looking for more this week. Took home a nice win in the MLB but he's going to get back on a rush to close out the year. Click here for picks.
