Texas Longhorns vs. Oklahoma Sooners Prediction
I’m on Oklahoma here. Whether Mateer plays or not is a big deal, but I still don’t love how Arch Manning has looked and how he could potentially look against a top-tier Oklahoma defense. Texas usually gets up for the Oklahoma game, but I think we’re getting a great price on the better team here. Give me Oklahoma in this one.
