Sports betting will favor the Texas Longhorns in the Big 12 title game against the Nebraska Cornhuskers on December 5th. Both teams still have a game remaining this week in online sportsbetting as Texas faces Texas A&M on Thursday while Nebraska plays Colorado on Friday.
Sportsbetting this past week had Texas rolling over Texas 51-20 as Colt McCoy passed for 396 yards and four touchdowns. With the sportsbetting win against A&M and a win against Nebraska in the Big 12 title game, Texas would play for the national championship. “It’s been a long time coming,” defensive end Sergio Kindle said. “There’s been a lot of hard work put into getting where we are now. It’s not over.”
Texas will be facing Nebraska in the Big 12 title game. The Cornhuskers won the North Division of the Big 12 as sports betting indicated. Nebraska is coming off a nice 17-3 win in sportsbetting this past week against Kansas State. “We’ve steadily improved and we’ve hung together,” Nebraska coach Bo Pelini said. “We were in a tough spot after the Iowa State game, and everybody wanted to write us off. There’s too much character in the locker room.” It will be the first Big 12 title game for Nebraska since 2006. The Cornhuskers have to finish the sports betting regular season first though as they play at Colorado on Friday. In the sportsbetting win over Kansas State it was Roy Helu Jr. running for 95 yards and a touchdown. He now has more than 1,000 yards for the online sports betting season. Zac Lee completed 13 of 19 passes for 166 yards and a TD in the online sportsbetting win.
Nebraska could pose a sportsbetting test for Texas in the Big 12 title game. The Cornhuskers have gone to more of a power offense in their last few games and it has worked. “We’re a true team. We’re together, and we’re with the process,” Lee said. “We know what we have to do, and we don’t care what it is as long as we win.”
Nebraska is 8-3 this season straight up and 7-4 against the sportsbetting odds. The Cornhuskers have the third ranked defense in the country in terms of fewest points allowed as sports betting stats show. Texas is 11-0 straight up but just 5-5-1 against the sportsbetting line. They are 2nd in the country in points scored and 7th in the country in fewest points allowed as online sports betting stats indicate.
