It’s just one big weekend after another at this point in the season, and Missouri is in the middle of another one come Saturday.

#17 Oklahoma State @ Kansas State – 12:00 PM ET
By far the most difficult matchup to call this week. Two decent teams coming off of heartbreaking losses – and in Oklahoma State’s case, their first defeat of the season. In a game like this, don’t underestimate what home-field advantage might mean for the Wildcats, who have an offense that is starting to find different ways to score. Which makes this game winnable for them despite their terrible defense.
Prediction: Kansas State by 3 – Bet Now
Odds: Oklahoma State: -5.5 – Kansas State: +5.5 – Over/Under: 68

Kansas @ Iowa State – 2:00 PM ET
We all know now: Iowa State is a pretty darn good team. They’ve beaten both Nebraska and Texas on the road the last two years and have adopted coach Paul Rhoads’ tough persona and will be looking at the Jayhawks and salivating with the thought of becoming bowl-eligible. And it’s hard to blame them because Kansas is the worst team in the Big 12 and starting its third-string QB.
Prediction: Iowa State by 28 – Bet Now
Odds: Kansas: +19 – Iowa State: -19 – Over/Under: 57

Texas Tech @ Texas A&M – 3:30 PM ET
The biggest thing to remember in picking a winner for this game is something we never thought would even be a consideration at the beginning of this season: Will Mike Sherman go with embattled QB Jerrod Johnson?
Prediction: Texas Tech by 12 – Bet Now
Odds: Texas Tech: +7 – Texas A&M: -7 – Over/Under: 59

#6 Missouri @ #14 Nebraska – 3:30 PM ET on ABC
The reward for Missouri beating the No. 1 team in America? They get to be the team that could make or break Nebraska’s season. Essentially the Big 12 North championship game, if the Tigers win here they make a claim as a legitimate national championship contender. And it all comes down to the quarterbacks – MU’s Blaine Gabbert and Nebraska’s Taylor Martinez. The top of the charts has been a pressure cooker this year.
Prediction: Nebraska by 7 – Bet Now
Odds: Missouri: +7.5 – Nebraska: -7.5 – Over/Under: 55

#25 Baylor @ Texas – 7:00 PM ET
Baylor is ranked. Texas isn’t. It doesn’t get much weirder. And if you saw the Bears score 47 points and roll up almost 700 yards of offense in a win over Kansas State last week, you know they can score with anybody. And if you saw Texas lose to Iowa State IN AUSTIN then you also know what sort of fire-breathing, scholarship-threatening dragon Mack Brown has probably been … careers are on the line in this one for the Longhornsa.
Prediction: Texas by 10 – Bet Now
Odds: Baylor: +7 – Texas: -7 – Over/Under: 53

Colorado @ #9 Oklahoma – 9:15 PM ET on ABC
If you’re an Oklahoma fan, this is surely the cure for what ails you. The Sooners can start getting down to the business of winning the Big 12 title here with national title talk out of the way after last week’s loss at Missouri.
Prediction: Oklahoma by 30 – Bet Now
Odds: Colorado: +24 – Oklahoma: -24 – Over/Under: OFF
