BetUS NCAA Basketball Sports Betting Odds: OKLAHOMA -3.5

* OU has won its last seven games SU
* OU has covered four of its last five games
* OU has played four of its last six games OVER the total
With only one NFL game left it is time to turn my attention to NCAA basketball. It is hard to believe that the NCAA tournament selection show is only 55 days away. I’m going to look at five teams that present a lot of value with 8 weeks remaining in the season. To make the list I will only consider teams who odds makers have listed at 10-1 or higher so as of 1/19/09 that rules out the following teams UNC, UConn, Louisville, Duke and Pitt.
This year’s match-up features 2 explosive programs that are at the top of their respective games right now. The Florida Gators went 12-1 and are led by 240 pound quarterback and 2007 Heisman winner Tim Tebow. Conversely, the Oklahoma Sooners possess the current Heisman trophy holder in silky-smooth quarterback Sam Bradford.
The Houston Rockets (6-4 SU, 4-6 ATS, 4-6 O/U) have alternated wins and losses in each of their last six contests in the BetUS Sportsbook. The Oklahoma City Thunder (1-9 SU, 5-5 ATS, 5-5 O/U) are absolutely reeling, having lost seven straight games coming into this contest.
A great traditional rivalry renews itself on Saturday when the Nebraska Cornhuskers (5-3 SU, 4-4 ATS) visit the Oklahoma Sooners (7-1 SU, 5-2 ATS) in NCAA college football action in the Big 12 Conference, beginning at 8 PM ET at Memorial Stadium (natural turf) in Norman, OK.
Saturday, November 1
Love this time of year basically half way thru college and pro football. Yesterday the BCS standings were released which I think are usually not always a good power rankings or top 10. They do take several factors into account so they are close but sometimes they are just wrong. Craig uses his power ranking to help him handicap and pick games daily. Below is Craig’s up to date top 10 for college football.
This time the Red River Rivalry has additional meaning, as the Oklahoma Sooners (5-0 SU, 4-0 ATS) face off against the Texas Longhorns (5-0 SU & ATS) in a Big 12 contest that has both conference and national title implications. The action gets underway at Noon ET at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas.
