College Football Odds: No. 24 Oklahoma at Nebraska

Oklahoma and Nebraska is one of the great rivalries in college football, but it hasn't been much of one lately, with the Sooners having won four in a row – including a 62-28 rout last year, the most points OU has ever scored against the Huskers. Yet Oklahoma is just a 5-point favorite on Bodog's college football odds this year.

Under coach Bob Stoops, the Sooners have owned Big 12 North teams, going 35-4. This year's Sooners are just a handful of points from being unbeaten: Their three setbacks were by a total of five points and all came against ranked opponents.

Expect this one to be low scoring, as both defenses rank among the nation's Top 20 in most major defensive categories. OU's unit hasn't allowed a single first-quarter point in the past 10 games. Nebraska's struggling offense has just three touchdowns total in the past three games.

There is one key injury to know about when check the college football odds on this one: Huskers star running back Roy Helu has had a bum shoulder for weeks and has managed just 12 carries in the past two games. Last year against OU, he had 157 yards on the ground. Meanwhile, true freshman QB Cody Green will make his second career start for Nebraska; Green took over for Zac Lee last week against Baylor and was 12-for-21 passing for 128 yards. He is a threat to run and had 43 yards rushing against the Bears. But obviously Baylor's defense isn't in the class of Oklahoma's.

Nebraska hasn't covered the spread since beating Missouri on Oct. 8, while Oklahoma has only covered once in its past five games. The Huskers are on a two-game losing streak at home but haven't lost three straight home games since 1968.
