Oklahoma is a 16.5-point betting favorite in this year’s Red River Showdown according to sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. The Sooners are off to an impressive 4-0 SU and 3-1 ATS start to the season while the Longhorns have stumbled out of the gate to a 1-4 SU and ATS start through their first five games.
Texas suffered its worst loss of the season last week in a 50-7 blowout on the road against TCU.
The Baylor Bears shot up to No. 3 in the AP poll with an impressive 63-35 win at home against Texas Tech, and now the Bears take their vaunted offense on the road to face one of the worst teams in the nation this Saturday at Kansas against the Jayhawks.
Baylor is a staggering 41.5-point road favorite this week. While the number may seem excessive, Baylor beat Kansas on the road by 45 points in 2013 and at home by 46 last season.
