Sooners Aim to Extend Win Streak in Week 12 Date with Last-Place Jayhawks

The Oklahoma Sooners can clinch a spot in the Big 12 championship game with a win on Saturday, when they visit the last-place Kansas Jayhawks in a Week 12 matchup at Memorial Stadium. The Sooners improved to 9-1 with last week’s 38-20 win over TCU as 6-point home chalk, while Kansas extended its SU slide to nine games with a 42-27 loss at Texas as a 31.5-point underdog.

Shark Bites
  • The visiting team is 1-5 ATS in the last six games in this matchup.
  • Kansas is 6-14 ATS in its last 20 games in Week 12.
  • Oklahoma is 11-0 SU in its last 11 games on the road against teams with losing records.

The Sooners have stormed to the top of the Big 12 standings during a 5-0 SU run, and have scored 47.75 points per game over their past four. Oklahoma has also won outright in 15 straight road dates since November 2014, but has failed to cover in five of the past six when pegged as double-digit road chalk.

It has been another lost season for the 1-9 Jayhawks, who have posted just one SU win over an FBS opponent since November 2014, going 1-33 SU during that stretch.  Kansas has tallied just 11.2 ppg over its past five, but has covered in two of those outings, and is 5-2 ATS in its past seven when pegged as a double-digit home underdog.

Not surprisingly, Oklahoma has dominated the Jayhawks in recent years, going unbeaten SU in 12 meetings since 1997, and outscoring Kansas by a stunning 168-17 margin over their past three matchups.
