Oklahoma has struggled as of late, losing 6 of their last 7 games, however, this is still a team that has some solid wins this season over Florida & Arkansas and has been decent on the defensive end, ranking 58th in scoring defense. Texas Tech has been lights out at home this season, posting a 16-0 record, led by a scoring defense that ranks 15th in scoring defense & 10th in defensive FG%. Texas Tech is a great team, however, Oklahoma has been great ATS as of late against Texas Tech and as I think this is just too many points to give the Sooners, I’m taking Oklahoma and the points.
