Oklahoma is a 14-point road favorite in Lubbock at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. The visiting team is just 2-8 ATS in the last 10 games between the Sooners and the Red Raiders.
The Sooners struggled out of conference play to start the season, picking up losses to Houston and Ohio State en route to a 1-2 SU and 0-3 ATS start. But since conference play has started, Oklahoma has found its groove with a 3-0 SU and 2-1 ATS record so far.
The Sooners offense has thrived with 40.2 points per game led by Baker Mayfield and a strong running game, but the defense has been an issue in 2016 allowing 33 points per game.
In their last 17 games on the road against Big 12 opponents, the Sooners are 15-2 SU and 12-5 ATS per the OddsShark College Football Database. Oklahoma has won its last seven conference road games outright with a 6-1 ATS record.
Betting Line / Total: Oklahoma -14 / 85 Points
Trend: The visiting team is 2-8 ATS in its last 10 games in this matchup.
Trend: Oklahoma is 10-0 SU and 8-2 ATS in its last 10 games against its conference.
Texas Tech has one of the fastest and most explosive offenses in college football, ranking second in the nation with 605 yards per game and fifth in scoring with 48.8 points per game.
But on the other side of the ball, the Red Raiders rank 116th in the country, allowing 479 yards per game and 124th in scoring defense at 40.2 points per game. The team’s elite offense and porous defense in the first half has led to a 3-3 SU and 4-2 ATS record.
This game has the highest total on the board on Saturday set at 85 points. The OVER is 10-0-1 in Oklahoma’s last 11 road games against Big 12 teams.
Both of these teams have the offensive capability to make it a shootout, and both should be comfortable doing so. Oklahoma’s edge on defense makes the Sooners the favorite on Saturday, but this one could go down to the wire if Texas Tech is at its best on offense.
