Oklahoma Vs Texas (Oklahoma + 5)

Oklahoma + 5 (-110)

The last chapter of the Red River Shootout as members of the Big12 kicks off today in Big D. This will mark the 5th time in the last 7 years that both sides of the rivalry come ranked in the top-25, in the 4 previous games in that span the Sooners are 3-1. Brent Venables will look to make his mark on the matchup and his team should come into this with a chip on their shoulder after falling 49-0 to the Longhorns last year in his first season coaching the team.

The Sooners pass game has been lethal this year ranking top-1O in:

Completion % - 76.16% (3rd)

Yds/Pass - 10.2 (10th)

Pass Yd/Game - 352.4 (8th)

*While only giving up a sack on 2.27% of dropbacks (ranked 12th)*

Oklahoma is also sporting a fantastic +1.6 Turnover Margin (ranked 6th) thanks intercepting opponents on 5.62% of pass attempts (ranked 3rd) and taking care of the football themselves.

The Sooners also have an edge on 3rd Down so far this season:

Oklahoma

Converting @ 54.41% (ranked 7th)

OPP Converting @ 27.27% (ranked 7th)

Texas

Converting @ 42.03% (ranked 46th)

OPP Converting @ 28.87% (ranked 6th)

I think the Oklahoma passing game is able to keep this one tight if not pull of the upset altogether, take the points.

Go Sooners!
