This week there are several important games to be played in the Big 12, with all except for Texas will be playing to secure a bowl game or to become bowl eligible. Which explains why some of the lines appear to be too good to be true, case in point Oklahoma at Nebraska. Although, I like for Oklahome to win this game, I expect this game to be close and low scoring.
My play:
Oklahoma/Nebraska UNDER 42.5
Oklahoma -4.5 (there is no way Oklahoma loses this game, it means too much)
Next game Oklahoma State at Iowa State, again both of these two teams will be playing for a bowl spot. I expect this game to be close with lot's of points scored. I love the over
My play:
Oklahoma State/Iowa State OVER 54
Third game, Kansas at Kansas State. This is huge rivary between these two teams. Epecially now, today's game will be big for both programs. I expect Reesing to have a big game, the trouble for Kansas is their defense, they can's stop anyone. Which means Kansas will score big and so will Kansas State.
My pick:
Kansas at Kansas State OVER 55.5
Kansas -2.5 (This will be close, I lean this way because this means too much for kansas, especially coming from a three game losing streak against Colorado, Oklahoma and Texas Tech)
Next game, Baylor at Missouri. Believe it or not this may be the best scenario for Missouri, as they have the easiest schedule remaining in the Big 12 North. With 5 wins already, Missouri is sitting in the drivers seat to win the Big 12 north and they will win this game big. Baylor has nothing to play for.
Missouri -14
Texas A&M at Colorado, this will be an interesting game. For the first time in what seems forever, A&M will be playing for a bowl spot and Colorado will be playing for pride. Which leads me expect points will be scored (lot's of points). Although, I like for A&M to win this game, I like the over better.
My pick:
Texas A&M -3
Over 57
Now for the Big 12 fun game of the day, Central Florida at Texas. However, I don't like Texas laying 35 points against a team they played two years ago in a close game (final score 35-32 Texas). What I do like is the over. Don't get me wrong, Texas will win this game big, I just don't believe they will be too motivated against Central Florida. Besides, I think this game will be over by end of Half time, meaning game will be slowed down by second half. I expect Texas to score a lot and I also expect Central Florida to score at least 14 points.
My Pick:
OVER 49
Best of luck to all.
