Oklahoma Sooners vs Texas Longhorns Total Pick
- Pick: Over
I expect this game to feature plenty of offense. Both teams average more than 82 points per game and neither defense has consistently slowed down high-powered offenses this season. With Oklahoma playing at a faster pace and Texas shooting the ball extremely well, I believe this game has a strong chance to go over the total.
Final Score Prediction: Texas Longhorns 88, Oklahoma Sooners 82
