Odds, best bets and analysis for this college football matchup

Oklahoma is an interesting team that is starting over in its own way after head coach Lincoln Riley decided to split for Southern California. Don't get me wrong, this is still an extremely talented team that is going to win a lot of games this year, regardless of who is coaching them. I'll be quite honest though, I was very disappointed by their performance against Kent State last week. In the second quarter, they were actually down 3-0 to the Golden Flashes at home. That simply cannot happen if you want people to take you seriously.
The game should have been over in a couple of drives with how bad Kent State's defense is, but the Sooners could find no success until the second half. A 33-3 victory is actually not as impressive as it should have been. I expected this game to finish with a score more around the range of 52-10 but was ultimately disappointed.
Now they will get a Nebraska team fresh off of firing head coach Scott Frost. That could embolden the Cornhuskers, and Oklahoma really has to be careful here. A trend to note: Oklahoma is 12-3 ATS vs. good passing teams with a completion pct. of 58% or better over the last three years.
