Big 12 predictions for week 3 of the 2021 season

Get set for week three of the college football season with predictions for all eight contests featuring Big 12 teams.

The Big 12 had a good record last week, going 8-2. However, it lost its two most important matchups. The Texas Longhorns lost to the Arkansas Razorbacks by 19 points, and the Iowa Hawkeyes pummeled Brock Purdy and the Iowa State Cyclones.

TCU had the most impressive win. A tight 34-32 win over the California Golden Bears and Oklahoma State had to rally to beat a Tulsa team that always gives them fits.

This week, there are several intriguing nonconference games on the slate and the first Big 12 matchup of the season between Kansas and Baylor. With that, let’s take a look at this week’s Big 12 predictions.

Last Week: 9-1*
