Welcome to "Someone has to Lose" Saturday.  Another week has gone by and the Sooners have won the biggest road game since 2003.  Now we will see if they have a hangover versus Mizzou or if they can keep up the intensity in this road game.   Here's what I'm watching.

2:30  #14 Arkansas at #3 Alabama
Both teams are 3-0 so someone has to lose.  Arkansas ranks 11th in total offense in their 3 games against Patsy, Patsy and Troy this year.  It took the Tide some time to get rolling against Penn State who is basicly your typical luke warm Big10 school.  Look for Bama's #2 scoring D to put the clamps down on the Hogs and their "first team to 50 wins" 8th ranked scoring offense.  Both teams have had some protection issues on the O line so I won't be surprised if there is at least one defensive touchdown in this game. 
Vegas is saying Alabama by 12.5.  I think Arkansas keeps it interesting so I'm taking the the Hogs and the points.

2:30 #7 Oklahoma State at #8 Texas A&M
The Pokes are playing Option Defense this year, meaning defense is optional and they are not playing any.  The Aggies and Cyrus Gray have managed to put some points on the board in their 2 games as well.  The Aggies have no turnovers and have allowed no sacks while eating up 450+ yards per game in their games.  The Pokes have put up impressive numbers on offense and are ranked #3 in scoring offense in the country.  Whichever team gets the most stops on D wins. 
Aggies are favored by 3 at home.  I'm taking the Aggies to play some solid D, get a couple three and outs and win this one at home in their farewell Big 12 tour.

7:00 Missouri at #1 Oklahoma
Mizzou has managed to get rolling after their close one against Miami (Ohio) and the loss to Arizona state, they walloped directional illinois behind James Franklin (think poor man's EJ Manuel).  Look for the Sooner passing game to exploit the Tigers 79th ranked pass efficiency D.  Both teams have had some turnover issues but I expect the Sooners to come in with a bit of a hangover from last weekend and turn it on in Q2. 
Oklahoma is giving 21 at home.  Sooners cover this one but it's only in the 20's and as close as a Jimmy Stevens knuckleball PAT. 

On the tailgate menu we're having Hatch Chili burgers, Cuban burgers and California Burgers.
