Missouri vs Oklahoma State College Football Predictions, College Football Odds & College Football Picks: The Missouri Tigers and the Oklahoma State Cowboys will square off tomorrow night at Boone Pickens Stadium in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Both teams enter the Big 12 skirmish with 4-1 records; however, the Cowboys are 1-0 in conference action while the Tigers are 0-1. Kckoff is scheduled for 9:15pm ET on ESPN2. College Football Predictions at BetUS.com have the Pokes listed as a -7 against the spread home favorite.

Missouri dropped its first game of the season last Thursday, losing 12-27 at home to Nebraska. The Tigers led 12-0 at the end of three quarters, but things got away from them in the fourth after quarterback Blaine Gabbert tossed two interceptions. Gary Pinkel's squad, which finished the game with just 225 total yards, failed to capitalize on several Husker miscues, leaving the door open for Bo Pelini's troops to get the win.

"There were a lot of opportunities the first three quarters," Pinkel said. "If we had done a better job of executing on both sides of the football, it might not have gotten like that in the fourth."

Sixteenth ranked Oklahoma State improved to 4-1 last weekend, getting a tough 38-31 road win against the Texas A&M Aggies. The Cowboys were without star wide recevier Dez Bryant, who was suspended by the NCAA for the remainder of the season for lying about a visit with former NFL star Deion Sanders, and top rusher Kendall Hunter, who was nursing an ankle injury. They still produced 21 first downs and 448 yards in the close win.

OSU is appealing Bryant's suspension, but it is still uncertain if he will suit up against Mizzou tomorrow night. Head Coach Mike Gundy feels his team can still do well even if Bryant is ruled out.

"We've got a number of guys that can step up and make plays," Gundy said. "They've got a long way ahead of them and a lot of work to do. We're very encouraged with their effort [though]."

College Football Predictions Betting Trend: Oklahoma State is 7-3 against the spread and 9-1 straight up in their last 10 games as a home favorite.

South Carolina vs Alabama College Football Odds, College Football Predictions & College Football Picks: South Carolina and Alabama will meet for the first time since the 2005 season tomorrow night in Tuscaloosa. The Gamecocks come into this conference tilt with a No. 22 ranking and a 5-1 record. Nick Saban's Crimson Tide, which are ranked second in the AP Poll, enter the game with a 6-0 mark. Kickoff is set for 7:45pm ET at Bryant-Denny Stadium; the game will be broadcast live on ESPN. College Football Odds at JustBet.com have the Crimson Tide listed as a -17 against the spread home favorite.

South Carolina improved to 5-1 last Saturday and jumped to No. 22 in the polls by beating Kentucky 28-26 in Columbia. The win was the second of the season for Steve Spurrier's squad against an SEC foe and it left them in second place in the SEC East behind the Florida Gators. The Gamecocks only loss this year came on the road against Georgia when they fell in week two 37-41 at Sanford Stadium.

South Carolina would have to feel good about their chances against Alabama if they can duplicate the 37 points they put up on the road against the Dawgs. Spurrier, however, is not counting on that against a defense that is giving up just 12.5 points per game.

"I think they're just going to come play their defense and come have a go at us and see what we can do," Spurrier said.

Alabama won its third consecutive conference game last weekend, drubbing Ole' Miss 22-3 in Oxford. The decisive victory improved the Tide to 6-0 and put them a game up over LSU in the SEC West standings.  

The Rebels managed just 12 first downs and 212 total yards against Alabama's formidable defense as quarterback Jevan Snead completed just 11-of-35 passes and threw four interceptions.

At this point the Crimson Tide look so good, it would appear as if their biggest challenge is staying focused and motivated.

"We cannot get complacent because that is the key to the whole drill," Saban said. "The passion to want to do it, the passion to stay with it, the passion to continue to go through the grind, and there are numerous teams every week that have a difficult time with that and don't play well."

College Football Odds Betting Trend: South Carolina is 7-2-1 against the spread in their last 10 games as a road dog versus an SEC foe.

Kansas vs Colorado College Football Picks, College Football Odds & College Football Predictions: The Kansas Jayhawks will look to extend their record to 6-0 this weekend as they meet conference rival Colorado in Boulder. The 17th ranked Jayhawks will, most likely, need a win in order to keep their Big 12 North title hopes alive, but Buffs coach Dan Hawkins may need a win to preserve his employment into next season. The game is scheduled to get underway at 7:00pm ET tomorrow night at Folsum Field. College Football Picks at JustBet.com have the Buffaloes listed as a +10 against the spread home dog.

Kansas sits atop the Big 12 North standings entering tomorrow night's game with a 5-0 overall record and a 1-0 mark in Big 12 action. The Jayhawks got their first conference win of the season last weekend, beating unranked Iowa State 41-36 in Lawrence. The game raised several red flags for Mark Mangino's squad, all of them on the defensive side of the ball. The Cyclones, who will not be mistaken for an offensive juggernaut anytime soon, posted 512 yards and 26 first downs in the loss.

Kansas will need to improve and improve quickly on that side of the ball if they hope to stay ahead of Nebraska and Missouri in the division race. Fortunately for Jayhawk fans, the Kansas offense can score both quickly and frequently. The high-powered offensive attack is averaging 40.6 points and 518 yards per game this year.

Quarterback Todd Reesing is one of the best players in the country and receivers Kerry Meier and Dezmon Briscoe are, arguably, the best pass catching tandem in the nation.

"It's hard to believe there's a better pitch-and-catch group in the country than those guys," Mangino said. "I'd be hard pressed to find a better one."

The Buffaloes season slid further into the hole last Saturday as they lost 38-14 to the No. 3 Longhorns in Austin, Texas. The defeat dropped Colorado's record to 1-4 and got the Buffs conference season off to a rocky start.

However, inspite of the loss, Colorado's defense, which is giving up an average of 30 points and almost 400 yards per game this season, did hold Texas to 313 total yards in the loss. They will need a similar effort against Kansas tomorrow in order to have a chance at victory.

College Football Picks Betting Trend: The Buffaloes are 5-1 against the spread in their last six games as an underdog with a spread between 8 and 10.5.

JustBet.com Kansas vs Colorado College Football Picks, Odds & Predictions:

Kansas Jayhawks -10 (-110), Over 56.5 (-110), -360 (Moneyline)

Colorado Buffaloes +10 (-110), Under 56.5 (-110), +300 (Moneyline)

Oklahoma vs Texas College Football Predictions, College Football Odds & College Football Picks: The Texas Longhorns and the Oklahoma Sooners will renew the Red River Rivalry (formerly the Red River Shootout) tomorrrow at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas. The two schools have been playing since 1900, and the game usually has something on the line for one or both of the teams. This time it is the Longhorns with the most to lose as they are 5-0 and ranked No. 3 in the latest polls. Kickoff is set for 12:00pm ET on ABC. College Football Predictions at Sportsbetting.com have the Sooners listed as a +3 against the spread dog.

Last year Texas handed the Sooners their only regular season loss, beating Oklahoma 45-35 at the Cotton Bowl. The deciding factor in that game was, surprisingly, the Longhorns ability to move the ball on the ground (161 yards, 4.6 yards per carry) while shutting down OU's two back attack (48 rush yards, 1.8 yards per carry).

Sooners defensive tackle Gerald McCoy indicated that his team has not forgotten how they lost that game and they have rehashed it several times in order to avoid another disappointment.

"We look at tape of last year all the time and we remember the mistakes we made and the things we didn't do to win the game," McCoy said. "We know we have to change those this year."

The Sooners will have quarterback Sam Bradford under center for tomorrow's big game, a reality that was anything but certain a couple of weeks ago. The Heisman Trophy winner returned to the lineup last week in a 33-7 win over Baylor in Norman; it was his first action since injuring his throwing shoulder in Oklahoma's season opening loss to BYU. He completed 27-of-49 passes for 389 yards and a touchdown in the easy victory.

Bradford's presence is critical to the Sooners' success going forward because, while the BCS Championship appears to be out of reach with Oklahoma sitting at 3-2, the Big 12 Championship is not. A win over Texas and Bob Stoops' squad could be headed for a fourth straight Big 12 title.

Texas enters tomorrow's clash with BCS aspirations still alive, sitting at 5-0 and No. 3 in the AP Poll. The Longhorns are 2-0 in conference play after beating Colorado 38-14 last weekend in Austin. And, while the score looked respectable enough, the performance apparantly was not as Mack Brown's team fell one spot in the rankings.

Quarterback Colt McCoy, a Heisman finalist last year and a candidate this season, completed 32-of-39 passes for 265 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Buffaloes. McCoy has a stellar quarterback rating of 149.15; however, it is down from last season's 173.75. The 23 year old has thrown 10 touchdowns passes (six interceptions), which puts him on pace for 24, a number 10 short of his total from a season ago.

Despite the big time quarterbacks and the offensive reputations that these two teams possess, this game will, most likely, come down to defense. The Longhorns are allowing a mere 15 points and 233 yards per game while Oklahoma is giving up just 8.6 points and 256 yards per contest.

Earlier this week Brown expressed surspise at the number of points put up in last year's Red River meeting. He indicated that improvments on defense may lead to a lower score this year.

"This year I think both defenses are better than they were last year," Brown said. "I know ours is better than it was last year and I think theirs is better."

College Football Predictions Betting Trend: The Sooners are 6-1 against the spread and straight up in their last six games as an underdog with a spread between 0 and 3.5.
