The No. 6 (BCS) Missouri Tigers (7-0) coming off that huge home win over former No. 1 Oklahoma, visit No. 14 Nebraska (3:30 ET, ABC/ESPN) in a game that might decide the North Division's entrant in the conference championship game in December. The Huskers are currently 6-1 overall this season and 2-1 in BIG 12 play while Missouri is 3-0 in league action.
Missouri might be getting the love from pollsters, but in the eyes of oddsmakers at BetUS.com, the Tigers are 7 1/2-point underdogs coming into their game versus Nebraska today. The Tigers are getting +250 odds on the BetUS moneyline as underdogs while Nebraska is giving -300. The game total is currently posted at 55 points.
In what could be called a signature win, Mizzou stunned No. 1 Oklahoma by winning 36-27 at home in Columbia. In the game, Missouri covered the 3-point spread as underdogs, while the total score (63) made winners of OVER bettors.
Nebraska rebounded well after their Week-7 home loss to Texas by going on the road to defeat Oklahoma State in Stillwater 51-41. The Huskers covered in the game as 6-chalk favorites, while the 92 combined points scored well for OVER bettors.
Last week, teams ranked in the AP Top 25 went 13-2 straight up vs. unranked teams, and 11-4 vs. the Bodog.com pointspreads. So on the season, ranked teams are now 117-16 SU and 66-56 vs. the numbers when playing unranked teams.
Also last week, in the four games that matched two ranked teams, the higher-ranked squads went 3-1 both SU and ATS vs. their lower-ranked opponents. On the season, higher-ranked teams are now 18-9 straight up and 15-12 vs. the numbers when playing lower-ranked opponents.
Reno Gold's pick: This game should be an all out war for the BIG 12 North Division. I'm not sure who will win but I do like Mizzou getting 7 1/2 points as a road dog.
