Oklahoma rules over its Big 12 Conference foes

The Oklahoma Sooners are 23-1 SU and 15-9 ATS in their last 24 games against Big 12 Conference opponents. The Sooners can keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive with another conference win this Saturday hosting the West Virginia Mountaineers.

SHARK BITES
  • Oklahoma is 16-0 SU in its last 16 games in Week 13.
  • West Virginia is 0-3 ATS in its last three games against Oklahoma.
  • The total has gone UNDER in eight of West Virginia’s last 11 games on the road.

Baker Mayfield has put up video game numbers during his whole career at Oklahoma, and this season is no exception. Mayfield has completed 70.8 percent of his passes and thrown for 3,816 yards and 34 touchdowns this season, all while throwing only five interceptions. The decision to return for his senior season seems to have been a wise one as Mayfield is the clear favorite to win the Heisman Trophy and he has his team two wins away from a College Football Playoff spot.

West Virginia’s shot at pulling off an upset in this game took a massive hit last week against Texas when quarterback Will Grier injured his finger. Grier has been outstanding this season with 3,490 passing yards and 34 passing touchdowns of his own, and could have at least given the Mountaineers a puncher’s chance on Saturday. The Mountaineers are 0-5 SU in their last five games against Oklahoma.
