Oklahoma Sooners vs. Texas Longhorns Odds and Picks to Bet

The Oklahoma Sooners and the Texas Longhorns will face each other on Saturday when they meet at Cotton Bowl.

If you don’t think ‘Mission Dog’ Texas is hell-bent on making amends for last year’s 5-7 travesty, look no further than the last two weeks.

The Oklahoma Sooners are 9½-point favorites against the Texas Longhorns, and the game's total is sitting at 56½.

However, the stampede is just getting started and it takes on an entirely different level this afternoon as the ‘Horns well remember last year’s 28-20 Red River Rivalry setback.

Ol’ Mackie’s 15-30 ATS log versus undefeated foes is a negative for sure, but his cattle have branded a 21-8 SU record in their last 29 tries against Top 15 ranked opposition – and this year’s bunch have held three of four opponents to season-low yardage.

The Sooners themselves haven’t fared well against undefeated opposition, posting a 3-8 ATS mark from Game Five out, and arrive to the Cotton Bowl with a 1-4 ATS log off back-to-back home games.

And while series history (4-1 ATS last five) and Okie’s 2-8 ATS mark before walking with the Jayhawks further supports UT’s ‘Mission’, the clincher comes from our ol’ reliable database as it notes: ‘Big Game’ Bob is 0-6 ATS as a favorite off back-to-back SU wins versus greater than .750 conference foes with revenge off a SU and ATS win. Even with that being said and a deal-sealing 88% AWESOME ANGLE on page 2, the bottom line is the Oklahoma ‘D’ is not of BCS caliber while the Texas stop-unit is.

Nearby Arlington saw a barnburner last week (Arkansas/A&M) and we expect another one in the ‘House that Doak Built.’ No points necessary as the ‘Horns hook ‘em -– outright!
