Home teams favored in Big 12 this weekend
West Virginia gets the favored status over TCU in this Saturday’s Big 12 play in Morgantown, according to our squad of Pick ‘me experts.
Also expected to win is Texas Tech over Baylor (in Lubbock).
A game to watch Saturday is Northwestern at Purdue. Although the panel favors Northwestern 7-3, this game is being played in West Lafayette and the Boilermakers are boiling on all cylinders right now.
Our group of 10 pickers are in a close race. Perennial winner Roger has the current lead, going 44-22 on the season. But Jack and Rick are just one game behind, at 43-23. All others are within striking distance.
Dave: Few worries this week — Sooners on a roll
It’s all coming together.
The Sooners rolled into Lubbock on Halloween night and went Michael Myers all over the Red Raiders like they were a bunch of promiscuous teenagers partying behind their parent’s backs.
The final tally was 62-28, and it wasn’t that close with Tech scoring two junk touchdowns in the fourth quarter against Sooner back ups.
Joining the fun after being back from their six game suspensions were Rhamondre Stevenson and Ronnie Perkins. And did they make up for lost time. Stevenson finished the night with 87 yards on 13 carries and 3 touchdowns and was named co Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week.
He looked like a man among boys on that field. He’s so big and muscular. Six feet and 246 pounds coming at you. He always falls forward for like three more yards when finally being tackled. Marshawn Lynch comes to mind.
