Oklahoma vs. Texas Pick
This is a neutral site game, so there is no true home-field advantage, but the Longhorns will be well-represented.
These are both dynamic offenses, but the difference here is the defense of Texas.
The Longhorns are the much better defensive team, as they have shut down multiple high-level offenses.
Oklahoma has looked good early, but their strength of schedule has been weak. The only challenging game for Oklahoma has been on the road against Cincinnati, where they scored just 20 points.
