O' BROTHER
Kansas to win at home
Kellis: Kansas hasn't defeated Nebraska since our dad was a KU freshman, 36 long years ago. Does the streak end Saturday?
Travis: Texas is superior to every
Travis: I expect Kansas will win the game, but I won't be surprised if it doesn't. Nebraska has an improved offense, but it will have just as much trouble moving the ball to Missouri did last week.
Kellis: Nebraska is only a one-point favorite, Kansas has the superior defense and the Jayhawks are undefeated at home. If ever there were a time to end the streak, this is it.
Travis: I agree. This is Kansas' best opportunity in a long time. Kansas wins it 13-10.
TRAVIS AND KELLIR BROINETT

Kellis; That sounds like too much scoring to me. This game will be ugly. 3-0 is a real possibility.
Kellis: The game could be interesting for at least a half. But you're right, Texas came back from a double-digit deficit to Oklahoma State last week like it was nothing.
Travis: Baylor is also trying to end a losing streak this weekend; a much shorter seven-year skid to Texas. Baylor is definitely better than it has been, but it's still nowhere near Texas.
other Big 12 Conference team because if it is losing, junior quarterback Vince Young seems to always lead his team to victory in the fourth quarter.
Kellis: A much closer game will be played in Ames, Iowa. Kansas State and Iowa State have both been erratic this season, and the winner will depend on which version of each team shows up.
will be decided when Missouri and Colorado play in Boulder, Colo., on Saturday. The Buffaloes will win because Missouri is severely confused after Kansas completely shut down its offense.
Travis: Iowa State will win because it is at home. The Cyclones went on the road and beat the Texas A&M Aggies last week. If they can do that, they can beat the Wildcats in a friendly environment.
Kellis: The Wildcats can't beat anybody other than the Jayhawks. Even though Iowa State has struggled with Army and Baylor this year, it is starting to come around. The Cyclones will continue their winning ways against the Wildcats.
Kellis: Yes, against Nebraska we saw the best Missouri had to offer. The Tigers won't show us again. Colorado will win this game easily.
Travis: It looks like the Big 12 North
Travis: So will Texas Tech.
Kellis: Texas Tech is a 16-point favorite and seems to be the automatic pick. But I'm going with the Aggies. They will come out with something to prove after their bad loss last weekend.
Travis; It doesn't matter how angry Texas A&M is — Texas Tech is the better team. The Red Raider offense has too many weapons. It can score at will against everyone they play besides Texas.
Kellis: I'm not convinced Texas Tech is as good as everyone thinks it is. Texas A&M football coach Dennis Franchione will come up with a game plan to steal one in Lubbock, Texas.
