Oklahoma Sooners vs Baylor Bears prediction
The Baylor Bears are going to get all the love from oddsmakers because they’re at home and I guess on paper they’re the more talented team. However, let’s not ignore that Baylor has had issues against some of the better teams in the Big 12 and that defense comes and goes. The Oklahoma Sooners are good enough offensively and have a defense that travels, which is a recipe for a possible upset in this spot. The Big 12 is gladiator school where anybody can win any given night and points can be key. Give me OU and the buckets.
