Fade Faves Between OU and Texas?

Taking the plunge and backing the favorite between the Oklahoma Sooners and Texas Longhorns has been a terrible idea for bettors in recent memory, as the faves are just 1-6 ATS in the past seven matchups between the two teams. To make matters worse for OU backers, the Sooners are just 7-9 ATS when giving up points this season. Texas will travel to Norman, Oklahoma on Monday to take on their Big 12 rivals.
