Oklahoma/Kansas Over 66.5 (-110)
Oklahoma takes its undefeated campaign to Lawrence KS and I'm looking for a shootout in this one behind both teams high-powered scoring offenses. These teams sit as some of the best in pts/game [KU- 33.3 (ranked 24th) / OK- 43.1 (ranked 3rd)] and it's no coincidence they both rank top 25 in the below offensive categories:
Yds/play
Oklahoma- 6.4 (ranked 17th)
Kansas- 6.8 (ranked 7th)
Pts/play
Oklahoma- .555 (ranked 8th)
Kansas- .5351 (ranked 11h)
3rd Down Conversion %
Oklahoma- 50.00% (ranked 11th)
Kansas- 53.23% (ranked 7th)
Giveaways/game
Oklahoma- .7 (ranked 11th)
Kansas- 1 (ranked 25th)
While the Sooners have been very solid on the defensive side of the ball, Kansas is averaging 42.75 pts/game at home through four games this season. KU's defense on the other hand has been very leaky:
Kansas
OPP Pts/game: 29.2 (ranked 89th)
OPP Yds/game: 426 (ranked 109th)
OPP 3rd Down Conversion %: 48.15% (ranked 123rd)
OPP Redzone Scoring %: 100% (ranked 130th)
I think the quick-paced Sooners offense (77.7 plays/game, ranked 8th) should be able to do enough damage in this one to get over the 66.5 mark even if their defense slows down the Jayhawks a bit.
Go Offense!
