Oklahoma vs Texas A&M Prediction
I’m looking at Oklahoma here. I think Texas A&M is riding high off of the win over Texas in blowout fashion, but now the Aggies have to go on the road to take on a solid, well-coached Oklahoma team off of their first loss of the year. The Sooners do a lot of things well, and I just think this is a spot for A&M similar to what Tennessee dealt with against Florida on Tuesday and look how well that ended up for the Vols. I think Oklahoma gets the win at home in this one, so give me Oklahoma in this game.
