The Pick

The Sooners should not lose to Kansas State as much as they do, but they haven't had any issues against TCU as winners of the last eight games of this series. Oklahoma is unlikely to meet yearly College Football Playoff expectations in a reloading season, but we should see its best effort coming off a loss and knowing there is no margin for error the rest of the season to meet its goals. Getting this number under a touchdown is great value for Sooners bettors, and that's the way to go on Saturday.
