Spanning the Globe

With such a potentially large game looming, let's look at what others sources have to say about Missouri, Nebraska, and Saturday's showdown at Faurot:

-- CBS Sportsline takes Mizzou over NU, by a count of 4 writers to 1.

-- ESPN.com pitches in a game preview with statistical comparisons.

-- Scout.com breaks down the game and like Mizzou by a 41-27 final. I guess 41-24 is too cliche...

-- Don't forget Mizzou's biggest fan, Vegas. The Tigers are 3-0 against the spread this year and are favored by 6.5 to 7 points across the board.

-- The Tribune's Dave Matter adds the latest installment of Cut to the Chase.

-- Our colleagues at Corn Nation confirm that lovers of the Big Red should be quite nervous about Saturday.

-- For some background on the history of MU-NU, make sure to spend some time checking out what our amigos at Mizzou Sanity have dug out of the archives.

-- If you're looking for Big 12 analysis and have a fascination with soda/coke/pop/soft drinks, you might want to stop here.

-- But, of course, no Nebraska-Missouri game would be complete without the help of our good friend, Huskerh8er.

As for me? Predictions, previews, and analysis to come later this week.
