The post-Scott Frost era begins at Nebraska when the Nebraska Cornhuskers host the No. 6 Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Neb. After the Cornhuskers lost to Sun Belt Conference member Georgia Southern last week to fall to 1-2 on the season, athletics director Trev Alberts fired Frost, who served as head coach since 2018. Mickey Joseph will serve as interim head coach for the rest of the season. On Saturday Nebraska faces a 2-0 Oklahoma team in its first season under coach Brent Venables. The Sooners are coming off a 33-3 victory against Kent State.
Kickoff is noon ET. The Sooners are 11-point favorites in the latest Oklahoma vs. Nebraska odds from Caesars Sportsbook, while the over/under for total points scored is 66. Before making any Nebraska vs. Oklahoma picks, you need to see the college football predictions and betting advice from SportsLine’s advanced computer simulation model.
The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every FBS college football game 10,000 times. Over the past six-plus years, the proprietary computer model has generated a stunning profit of almost $3,400 for $100 players on its top-rated college football picks against the spread. It enters Week 3 of the 2022 college football season on a 50-41 run on all top-rated college football spread and money-line picks that dates back to 2021. Anyone who has followed it has seen huge returns.
Now, the model has set its sights on Oklahoma vs. Nebraska and just locked in its picks and CFB predictions. You can head to SportsLine now to see the model’s picks. Now, here are several college football odds and betting lines for Nebraska vs. Oklahoma:
Oklahoma has an elite playmaker in Mims Jr. A 5-foot-11 junior from Frisco, Texas, Mims leads the Big 12 and ranks 13th in the country in all-purpose yards per game (150.5). In last week’s victory over Kent State, he had a career-high 203 all-purpose yards, seventh most nationally this season.
In addition, the Sooners face a Nebraska team that has struggled defensively this season. The Cornhuskers rank 124th (out of 131) in the country in total defense (492.0 yards per game allowed). They also give up 207.3 rushing yards per game, which ranks 116th in the FBS.
Grant has been red-hot to start the season. A junior college transfer from New Mexico Military Institute who started his career at Florida State, Grant ranks third in the country in rushing yards per game (142.7). He is the first Nebraska running back to top 100 yards in each of his first three games since Bobby Reynolds in 1950.
In addition, the Cornhuskers face an Oklahoma offense that isn’t on the field much. The Sooners rank second-to-last in the country in time of possession (22 minutes, 34 seconds per game). That bodes well for a Nebraska team that had the time of possession edge (31:56) against Georgia Southern.
SportsLine’s model is leaning Under on the total, projecting 57 combined points. The model also says one side of the spread hits in more than 50% of simulations. You can only see the model’s pick at SportsLine.
