Texas Longhorns -27
Baylor got killed on the ground by Colorado last week. If they thought the Buffs were tough running the ball, wait until they get a load of Jamaal Charles and Selvin Young. Both are averaging over 5 yards per carry, which will allow QB Colt McCoy to pass the ball whenever he wants or when it's needed. The Longhorns have scored 41 or more points in seven straight meetings against the Bears, and they've pitched a shutout in 4 of their last 8! Defensively, the Longhorns will have their way. Baylor's rushing yardage was an anomaly last week against Colorado. The Bears are averaging just 41 RYPG! When Texas shuts down the run, QB Shawn Bell will be under constant pressure. Realistically, Baylor knows they don't have much shot to pull the major upset
Nebraska Cornhuskers -9
Kansas State offense not at all equipped to keep up with improving and now more balanced Husker offense. Wildcat D is solid but in this one they are the field to often and eventually wear down, Nebraska opens this one up late.
Auburn Tigers +2
