Mizzou will be the prime competition for Nebraska in the Big 12 North and their October
30 showdown in Lincoln, NE will likely be epic as the long time rivals will separate after 2010 with the Big Red moving to the Big Ten. Mizzou led the Huskers late in last year's showdown at Columbia, MO before Gabbert went down to injury in a driving rainstorm as NU prevailed in a 27-12 comeback win in college football odds. Mizzou's toughest home game will be against Oklahoma and they have Big 12 challenging road games at explosive Texas A&M, and Texas Tech. They will play Illinois in St. Louis to open the season and finish the year at Arrowhead in Kansas City against hated Kansas. With plenty of experience and motivation this could be another banner year for 10 year coach Gary Pinkel and the Tigers.
