    #21 Oklahoma @ #3 Texas

    #21 Oklahoma @ #3 Texas

    Line: 3 points.

    My concern here is why is #3 only a 3-point home favorite against #21?

    Sagarin Rating Texas 5.41 rating advantage

    Texas 4-0 L4 vs. Oklahoma

    Seems to easy i agree!

    If Texas loses this game SU it likely will be its only loss for the season. Could that keep them out of Championship Game? I would side Texas on a teaser. Otherwise this is likely a dangerous play.

    Texas rolls. The line is low because:

    1. It's not a true "home" game for UT, they play at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas

    2. UT looked like crap against Colorado in the 1H

    3. Oklahoma has Bradford back and beat Baylor easily last week

    4. Texas has 2 key running backs hurt

    That being said, there is no comparison between these 2 teams this year. Texas is just so much better and they will prove it Saturday.

    Texas should cover 3 easily, this is not the Oklahoma of years past.

    A very bad Baylor team moved the ball against OK but couldn't put it in the end zone. OK also made a lot of mistakes on both sides of the ball. Even the announcers said the team appeared to be in disarray.

    I just don't see how they can stay with Texas. Especially since UT beat them last year and OK got the BCS bid. Don't you think that is in the minds of the UT team also?

    Oakland hasn't looked that impressive so far this year but Texas has looked like the worse team. They are lucky to be undefeated and will loose this one by 10+. Look for the Sooners to beat up on the Longhorns sooners rather than later taking an early game lead and never looking back. Oklahomies +3 are my pick for this one.
