K-State -3 over Oklahoma State
Oklahoma -6 over Texas
Nebraska -7 over Mizzou
I like to refer these questions to my own little fun
program. Of course there are multiple computer programs out there, and mine is just an amature having fun. But it gives you good insight into what will happen if BOTH TEAMS PLAY AVERAGE. Just subtract the numbers of each team and add 3 or so points to the home team. Of course if one team is cold or the other team is hot anything can happen (the fun of football and its many upsets).
It says: K State and Oklahoma State are tied. So give 3 points to Oklahoma State for being at home. So I'm saying Oklahoma State will win by 3. Also remember K States road streak against good teams: 0 W, 70 L!
It says: Oklahoma will win. 148.1 - 133.7 - 3 = 11.4 points that Oklahoma will win by.
It says: Nebraska will win. 133.8 - 114.6 - 3 = a 16 point blowout by Nebraska.
So I think you will hit 2 out of 3. Of course since K State and Oklahoma State are so closely matched, you might get lucky and win. You are basically risking $20 to get $120 - so I'd have to say while you will likely lose it is a good bet.
Are you a Big 12 fan? I'm typing this from the Nebraska campus right now...
