The Oklahoma Sooners and Texas Tech Red Raiders are not going to trick anyone with their gameplan, which is more often than not simply outscoring the other team, which has lead to the OVER cashing in four of their past five meetings. Oklahoma and Texas Tech have combined for more than 80 points per game and 750 passing yards this season.
- The OVER is 15-8 in Oklahoma’s past 23 games.
- Texas Tech is 7-3 ATS in their past 10 games.
- Quarterback Baker Mayfield transferred from Texas Tech to Oklahoma.
If there was any doubt about the Sooners after their loss to Texas two weeks ago, it was dispelled after a 55-0 destruction of Kansas State in their last game. Heisman dark horse quarterback Baker Mayfield threw five touchdowns in the first half before seeing little action in the second.
The vaunted Texas Tech offense struggled last week and scored a season-low 30 points. The Red Raiders defense was able to take advantage of a young and overwhelmed Jayhawks offense, but there’s no denying that the key to Texas Tech’s success is their offense.
