Why Texas can cover
Texas has won all five of its games in blowout fashion this year, establishing itself as the top team in college football. Starting quarterback Quinn Ewers has not played since the second week of September due to an abdominal strain, but he is on track to start this game. Ewers was an early Heisman Trophy candidate when he racked up 691 yards and eight touchdowns in less than three full games.
The Longhorns have a pair of running backs who have gone over 220 rushing yards this season, headlined by junior Jaydon Blue (239 yards). Junior wide receiver Isaiah Bond, who transferred from Alabama, leads Texas with 20 receptions for 364 yards and three touchdowns. The Longhorns are 12-1 in their last 13 games as favorites, and they have covered in eight of their last 12 games against Oklahoma. See which team to pick here.
Why Oklahoma can cover
While Texas is glad to potentially have Ewers back on the field for this game, he is returning at a difficult time. He is 1-1 against the Sooners as a starter, throwing five touchdowns and three interceptions, with two of those picks coming in a 34-30 loss last year. The Sooners are coming off a 27-21 win at Auburn, notching their first-ever SEC win.
Freshman quarterback Michael Hawkins Jr. completed 10 of 15 passes for 161 yards while rushing for 69 yards and a touchdown. Hawkins gained valuable experience after taking over for Jackson Arnold in the first half against Tennessee. The Sooners have won five of the last six meetings between these teams, and bettors are able to back them as two-touchdown underdogs this year. See which team to pick here.
