Betting on the Oklahoma Sooners
- Regular Season Record: 2-0
- Spread: -11.5
- Moneyline: (-400)
- Over/Under: 66.5
The Sooners remain hopeful that they can move into the top four in the nation at some point this season, and this Saturday they will have a very important visit to Nebraska on their way to accomplishing that mission.
In their first two games they scored 78 points and against Kent State they recorded 430 yards with 296 through the air thanks to a great performance by quarterback Dillon Gabriel, who threw three touchdown passes to lead the win.
The defense has also been impressive, allowing just 16 points to their opponents and forcing five turnovers in those games. This is a performance they will need to maintain against a University of Nebraska that has scored at least 28 points in each of their games.
Betting on the Nebraska Cornhuskers
- Regular Season Record: 1-2
- Spread: +11.5
- Moneyline: (+310)
- Over/Under: 66.5
Nebraska’s two losses this season have been by three points. Something that speaks to the fact that the Cornhuskers have fought to the end despite the defensive problems they have presented.
In their last game against Georgia Southern they allowed 45 points, six touchdowns, 642 total yards, and still lost with a field goal with 36 seconds left in the game. That is a performance they cannot afford to repeat, considering that Oklahoma will not give them the same freedom to keep the game close with touchdowns.
JefeBet Prediction
While Nebraska has not performed well defensively, four of the five lifetime meetings between the two universities have resulted in turnovers. Last season, the game ended 16-23 in favor of Oklahoma.
This year, the Sooners have also shown a pretty strong defense and Nebraska will not score as much as they did in the first three weeks.
Prediction: Under.
