McCoy is also buttressed with a solid flock of receivers and an intimidating defense; years of recruiting the state of Texas&#8217; best and brightest is indeed paying dividends.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/go\/bovada\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #FFFFFF;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mysportsbook.com\/mysb_banners\/300x250_flash\/300x250_girls.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nHowever, before we completely rule Nebraska out of the contest, we must admit that the Huskers can also come to play. Some weeks ago they held perennial power Oklahoma to just three points. Even without starting QB Sam Bradford, that was impressive. Tailback Roy Helu can also make his mark on the game. Also, as a slight aside &#8211; enjoy watching Huskers DT Ndamukong Suh. <\/p>\n<p>Maybe the best player in college football, he is a surefire Top 10 (and probably Top 5) pick in the NFL draft.<\/p>\n<p>I could see this tilt in the House that Jerry Jones Built going one of two ways. Nebraska has far from the most prolific offense in the world, but the Huskers can run the ball and play some solid defense. Nebraska could either grasp the underdog role with gusto and give Texas a really tight game &#8211; dare I say, an upset &#8211; or Texas will leave it all on the field, know that with a win they&#8217;ll book a date in the National Title, and kick the crap out of the Big 12 North&#8217;s competition. Though both are possible, the wise bet is that the latter will happen. <\/p>\n<p>Mack Brown will have his boys geared up and ready to prove that the Big 12&#8217;s elite can hang with the SEC. <\/p>\n<p>To do that, they&#8217;ll have to dispatch the Big 12 North first.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2009 Team Stats<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Total Offense:<\/strong> Texas 11th<br \/>\n                           Nebraska 92nd<\/p>\n<p><strong>Total Defense<\/strong>: Texas 5th<br \/>\n                           Nebraska 11th<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trends:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Texas is 5-0 SU in its last 5 games<br \/>\nTexas is 7-1 SU in its last 8 games when playing Nebraska<br \/>\nThe total has gone OVER in 4 of Texas&#8217;s last 5 games<br \/>\nTexas is 4-2 ATS in its last 6 games<br \/>\nNebraska is 5-0 SU in its last 5 games<br \/>\nThe total has gone UNDER in 6 of Nebraska&#8217;s last 8 games<br \/>\nNebraska is 2-5 ATS in its last 7 games<br \/>\nNebraska is 1-7 SU in its last 8 games when playing Texas<\/p>\n<p><strong>Team records:<\/strong><br \/>\nTexas: 12-0 SU, 5-6-1 ATS<br \/>\nNebraska: 9-3 SU, 8-4 ATS <\/p>\n<p><strong>Pick: Texas -14.5<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/go\/bovada\">We stand behind one of our top NFL Sportsbooks &#8211; MYSportsbook.com &#8211; Sign Up For A Free Account Today, and know that they have ONE OF THE Best CREDIT CARD ACCEPTANCE rates in the industry.<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><em>James has been naming every player on the EA Sports NCAA video game rosters for half a decade now, he\u2019s finally putting his knowledge to better use writing for us here at CappersPicks.com.
