In today's news, we have an exciting update on the Red River Rivalry between Texas and Oklahoma. But before we dive into the details, let's talk about an incredible offer from Caesars Sportsbook. By signing up with the promo code NYPNEWS1000, new users can receive up to $1,000 in bonus bets if their first bet loses. It's a fantastic opportunity to build your bankroll and potentially win big.

But that's not all. If you're in Kentucky, Caesars Sportsbook has a special Bet and Get promotion. By using the promo code NYPNEWSGET, new users can get $250 in bonus bets. It's another great offer for those looking to get started with online sports betting.

Now, let's get back to the Red River Rivalry. The Oklahoma Sooners are seen as a strong contender in this year's matchup. They will heavily rely on the arm of their quarterback, Dillon Gabriel, if they want to stay in the game. However, Texas is known for its strong defense, particularly in shutting down rushing attacks. With Texas ranking 15th in Line Yards compared to Oklahoma's 100th, it's likely that the Sooners will struggle to gain ground.

This means that Gabriel will have to step up his passing game, especially in the red zone. Texas' secondary may not be as formidable as they seem, with a coverage rating of 63rd according to PFF. Gabriel has a history of performing well in games at Oklahoma, going over 1.5 passing touchdowns in 73.5% of his matches. This gives him a significant edge in line value, with implied odds sitting at -277. The pick is in favor of Dillon Gabriel going over 1.5 passing touchdowns.

Moving on, we have some exciting news for Kentucky residents. Online sports betting has launched in the state, and BetMGM is offering an exclusive deposit match of up to $1,500 with the Kentucky bonus code NYPNEWS1500. This offer is not available in NY, NV, KS, or DC. However, regardless of your active BetMGM state, there's a bet and get offer for new users. By using the BetMGM bonus code NYPNEWSGET and placing a first bet of at least $10, you can receive up to $200 in bonus bets guaranteed.

In terms of another matchup, Nebraska vs. Illinois, Nebraska seems to have the upper hand. Their strong rushing offense, led by the Cornhuskers, is well-positioned to exploit Illinois' vulnerable run defense. On the other hand, Nebraska's defense is expected to stymie Illinois' running game, forcing them into predictable passing situations. This could potentially disrupt Illinois' offensive momentum. With Nebraska at +3.5, it's an appealing choice, and even at +3, it seems like a favorable option. Nebraska not only has the potential to cover the point spread but also secure an upset victory, advancing to a 3-3 record.
