College Football Picks
College Football Picks Saturday night under the lights in Lincoln, Memorial Stadium will be on fire as the Nebraska Cornhuskers play host to the Oklahoma Sooners in an old-school battle of Big 12 rivals.

The Sooners are 5-3 overall and 3-1 in the Big 12, while the Cornhuskers are also 5-3 and will be looking to pull even in the conference as they sit at 2-2 in the Big 12.

NCAA odds makers are calling Oklahoma a road favorite in this one as the Vegas line is sitting at, the Sooners -4.5 with the total in the game is at 41.5.

The battle of the Big Reds has been a bit unbalanced lately with Huskers going through a rebuilding period. But Nebraska has played very good at times this season as they try to re-emerge as a power in college
football. This rivalry may be gaining some momentum, but it has a ways to go before it equals that of the days of Barry Switzer vs. Tom Osborne in the 1970s and '80s.

Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops does he best to make sure his players know the context of games like this.

"I always have had, playing Nebraska here for a long time, great respect for them. An amazing tradition and history," Stoops said. "I always want our freshmen, sophomores, guys that haven't been around that long to have a true understanding of the whole tradition, history and pride of that program."

Oklahoma's defense will be the difference in this match-up. The Cornhuskers are getting better, but the Sooners still have too much talent.

Take the Sooners and give the 4.5 points on the road.
