This used to be a great rivalry game, but Nebraska is sloppy and poorly coached under Scott Frost. He saved his job for now with a pair of cupcake wins over Fordham and Buffalo, but don't forget they were a TD favorite in the opener and lost, 30-22, to Illinois. The offense couldn't be more one-dimensional as QB Adrian Martinez leads the team in rushing and passing. They lost 52-17 to a Top 5 team last season and now face No. 3 Oklahoma. Nebraska is 3-7 ATS against winning teams, 6-13-2 ATS after a spread cover, and 20-41-2 ATS following a win of 20+ points. Oklahoma QB Spencer Rattler leads a high-octane attack along with NFL prospect RB Kennedy Brooks (6.8 yards per carry) while WR Marvin Mims is averaging 22.7 yards per catch. Throw in tight ends Austin Stogner and All-Big 12 pick Jeremiah Hall, and this offense will be too much for the Cornhuskers. A college football team like the Sooners with eight defensive starters returning that just had 575+ total yards on offense is 63-29 ATS in the first month of the season. Play Oklahoma.
