Texas has been one of the online betting favourites all year, and they finally broke out last week at Missouri. The Longhorns head to Oklahoma State under the lights on Saturday night with an unbeaten record, while the Cowboys look to pull even. NCAA football betting players also need to watch out for a wounded darkhorse to head to the Big 12 championship game.

Texas (7-0, 4-0) has won 11 straight over the Cowboys, and No.12 would be a huge boost to the Longhorns’ odds in your offshore sportsbook. Speaking of No.12, Colt McCoy finally showed why he was a preseason Heisman favourite against Mizzou, and he’ll need more of that against the Cowboys. The defense may be the most improved unit in the country, coming in second only to Florida. After this week, the Longhorns welcome Kansas and head to Texas A&M to close it out, so there’s a lot of pressure for Texas on Saturday night.

Oklahoma State (6-1, 3-0) was supposed to fade after receiver Dez Bryant was suspended by the NCAA, but the Cowboys have been on a roll since, although against subpar competition. Zac Robinson has been excellent, and the Cowboys’ defense is also improving. But they haven’t seen the likes of Texas yet this year, and the spotlight may be too much for Oklahoma State’s nerves. It doesn’t get easier either, with a tricky road trip to Iowa State next week, followed by Texas Tech, and there’s always the Bedlam game with Oklahoma to end the season.

Oklahoma (4-3, 2-1) has been banged up, losing reigning Heisman winner Sam Bradford for good against Texas, tight end Jermaine Gresham was gone early, and the Sooners are still in the mix. They’re doing it with a sixth-ranked defense that is as good as anyone, which is even more important with so much transition on the offensive side. But the Sooners’ schedule may eventuall get the better of them: they still head to Nebraska and Texas Tech, and next week’s visit from Kansas State won’t be a cakewalk. At least they host this year’s Bedlam rivalry clash with Oklahoma State, which could be even bigger if both run the table until then.
