Written By David Hess (Follow me on Twitter @DavidHess311)
When: 8:00 PM ET, Saturday, November 14, 2015
Where: McLane Stadium in Waco, Texas
Televised: ABC
Odds: The game opened up with Baylor as 7 point favorites and and heavy money has come in on the Sooners as the Bears are now just 2.5 point favorites. The OU line currently sits at 77.5.
The Oklahoma Sooners come in at 8-1 on the year and they have shaken off their loss to Texas to win their last four games by an average of 45.5 ppg. This is a tough stretch of games for them as they have a home date vs TCU and a road game vs Oklahoma State still on deck, so if they win out their should be no reason at all for them to be left out of the college football playoffs. This is a very talented team that comes in very strong on both sides of the ball. QB Baker Mayfield leads an offense that comes in ranked 6th in the nation in total yards (549.3 ypg) and 3rd in scoring at 46.3 ppg. On defense they have been very good as well as they rank 21st in yards allowed and 16th in points allowed, giving up just 18.1 ppg.
The Baylor Bears come in having won all 8 of their games thus far and they don’t have all that easy of a rad left as they have road games vs Oklahoma State and Texas Tech, plus a home game vs Texas on deck. Now making it harder for them is the fact that they are now without QB Seth Russell for the rest of the year. Jarrett Stidham has played well for the Bears this year, but still in his lone start the bears were only good for 31 points, which is far below their average for the year and it it their lowest scoring output of the year. That may not get it done for the Bears who are not really a strong defensive squad, as they allow 25 ppg, which is 58th in the nation.

[187] Oklahoma +2.5 over Baylor
I know I lost some value, but I will follow the money here and back the Sooners. They are by far the most complete team in the Big 12 and that makes them the most complete team in the this game as well. Baylor still has a strong offense but I don’t feel they can score enough vs this tough Oklahoma defense to offset the fact that Oklahoma should have a field day vs the Baylor defense that isn’t all that strong. The Sooners have averaged 58 ppg their last four games and it will be their offense vs teh Baylor defense that will be the difference in this game.
