College Football Game Lines – Nebraska at Oklahoma State

Those who analyze college football game lines know that the Nebraska Cornhuskers were embarrassed last week against Texas in a home game they fully expected to win, and now they seek to take last week’s loss out on somebody.

In the college football game lines, Nebraska is a six-point favorite, with the total posted at 60 points.

Key stats for Nebraska — The Huskers are fourth in the nation in rushing, averaging 302 yards, and quarterback Taylor Martinez leads that parade, with 9.4 yards a carry and 12 touchdowns. Martinez had 39 gross yards on 13 carries last week against a Texas team that had extra time to prepare for him, something to remember as we analyze the college football game lines. Nebraska has defended the pass better than anyone, statistically speaking; they have allowed just 47% completions and a microscopic 4.6 yards an attempt.

Key stats for Oklahoma State — The Cowboys are third in the nation in passing offense, second in total offense, and second in points per game, averaging just short of 50. Brandon Weeden, who has played through injuries, is 69% accurate, with 19 touchdowns. he’s got great balance in the offense; running back Kendall Hunter has regained his form from a couple of years ago; he is fifth in the nation in rushing, at 138 yards a game, and wide receiver Justin Blackmon already has 57 catches for 955 yards. The other side of the coin is that OSU’s defense has allowed 404 yards a game, although 280 of those yards have come through the air.

Here are some of the NCAAF trends as they might impact the college football game lines:

Martinez does not pass well. In only one game has he completed more than nine passes, so if the Cowboys can somehow force him to drop back and throw, that all of a sudden makes Nebraska just another team. The problem for Oklahoma State in the college football game lines is getting them there in the first place. Texas had more time to prepare and better athletes on defense, but the fact is that OSU’s defensive staff can study that blueprint, which included widening the span of the defensive line in order to prevent Martinez from getting around the edge, and perhaps make life a little more difficult, if not impossible, for the Husker signal-caller.

Nebraska is a team that doesn’t necessarily mind going on the road, as the Cornhuskers have covered eight of their last ten in that situation in the college football game lines. But the scheduling dynamic here isn’t the best for them, as they go from a long-awaited emotional revenge game against Texas where their national title hopes were seriously dashed, to this game against an undefeated squad that will have a raucous crowd on hand, with Missouri, who might still be unbeaten, on the horizon. if they aren’t paying full attention, OSU will score enough to put the result of this game into serious doubt. They have all the ability to do so. We’re taking Oklahoma State plus six points in the college football game lines.
