Texas Longhorns vs. Oklahoma Sooners Prediction

I’m on Oklahoma here. I don’t love either one of these teams right now, but the Sooners are still a better team than a 1-7 conference record, and I’m not buying what the Longhorns are selling on the road right now. The Sooners have been in a couple of close calls as of late that could easily have them at 4-4 if a couple of buckets flipped, and I think the Sooners get their job done here. Give me Oklahoma.
