Oklahoma and Texas Meet in Red River Shootout (October 10)

A clear difference can immediately be seen in the Big 12. Normally Oklahoma is the College football betting bell cow of the conference.  Texas is always touted as the top challenger to the Sooners.  This year is a wild card.  Consider both teams are coming of losses heading into this week’s Red River Shootout.  Each year this matchup held at the Texas Fairgrounds is a college football tradition.  Indeed, most years it’s a shootout.  Big 12 defenses are scoffed at for plenty of good reasons.  Offense is what this league is all about.  Defense is an afterthought.

Oklahoma Limps in With Rare Two-Game Losing Streak

Oklahoma has betting on college football record of 1-2 straight up and against the spread.  Two of their three games cleared the total.  Offensively the Sooners rank ninth overall second for passing, 57^th for rushing, 19^th for scoring, and 28^th for turnovers.  By contrast, defensively they are 14^th overall, 31^st against the pass, ninth against the rush, 29^th for points allowed, and 58^th for takeaways.

Last week Oklahoma lost at Iowa State 37-30.  OU was 7.5-point chalk with the game clearing 62.5.  Previously the Sooners were upset in a 38-35 home loss to Kansas State.  KSU rallied from a 35-14 third-quarter deficit.  This is indicative of the Sooners inability to clamp down when it matters most.

Freshman quarterback Spencer Rattler has been good but not perfect.  To illustrate his rating is 187.3 with a 73% completion rate.  He is averaging 10.4 yards per pass with 10 touchdowns and four interceptions.
