Nebraska and Oklahoma played one of the greatest games in College Football betting history. Specifically, on Thanksgiving Day, 1971, Nebraska went into Oklahoma and won a thriller. Johnny, “The Jet” Rodgers, became a national sensation. Subsequently, the Huskers went on to win their second straight national championship. Both schools and the FOX network thought a renewal of this rivalry would be a draw. But Nebraska’s inability to get up to speed has tarnished anticipation. In fact, the Huskers tried to get out of this game. But a public backlash from their fans thwarted those plans.

Nebraska Cornhuskers at Oklahoma Sooners SBG Odds Overview
By reason of Nebraska’s several years of mediocrity, they have lost sportsbook appeal. Counter to that is an Oklahoma team respected as a perennial contender.
Nebraska Cornhuskers Team Overview
Last week the Nebraska Cornhuskers got a 28-3 payout over Buffalo as 13.5-point home chalk. The game stayed under the total of 54. Senior quarterback Adrian Martinez passed for 296 yards and a pair of touchdowns with 112 yards rushing
Head coach Scott Frost is in his fourth season coaching his alma mater. Frost was hailed as a savior upon his arrival in December 2017. However, his tenure has proven to be a massive disappointment. Sloppy play, poor player retention, and a slow roster are his trademarks. Now, Frost has lost the confidence of the Big Red faithful.

On the whole, Spencer Rattler is a lead Heisman Trophy favorite. Of major concern is a defense that Tulane lighted up in Week-1.
