Oklahoma vs. Kansas College Football Picks: The No. 25 Kansas Jayhawks have been feasting mostly on road-kill since the beginning of the season going 5-1 against mostly cup-cakes - the likes of UTEP and Duke and woeful Iowa State. KU's one slip-up came in week 7 on the road at Boulder to Colorado. That loss is virtually inexcuseable considering how bad the Buffaloes are. Today the Jayhawks host the No. 25 Oklahoma University Sooners, fresh off their week 7 13-16 loss to Texas in the Red River Rivalry Game down in Dallas at the Texas State Fair. That loss was OU's third of the season, something unprecedented for the Sooners this time of year. Having said that, these Sooners, with one of the nations best defenses are more than capable of handling Kansas in this game. Oklahoma has had some tough luck so far this college football picks season going 3-3 but gee-whiz, look at their schedule. It has for sure been front heavy. OU fell in its opener to a very good BYU Cougars team, a game where the Sooners lost their quarterback, 2008 Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford to a shoulder injury. Of course no sooner did they get him back by week 7 they lose him again. OU also dropped a game, 20-21, at Miami in week 5. So all in all, OU is 3-3 and the three losses were all to ranked teams by a combined six points.

College football picks: Unless OU's defense got a whole lot worse in the last week, we don't expect the Jayhawks to score too many points on Oklahoma. What we do expect is OU to hang a bundle on KU. This allows us to make a call for a UNDER 55.5 on the total bet and look for OU to cover the 8-chalk ATS.
