4. Kansas at Oklahoma
LINE Oklahoma -10.5
ATS PICK Kansas
I promised I wasn’t going to fall into the trap … I promised I wasn’t going to fall into the trap … I promised I wasn’t going to fall into the trap …
To keep hammering the theme, what do we know?
Oklahoma has been awful defensively. QB Dillon Gabriel might be back, but he doesn’t play linebacker.
The Sooners are getting killed against the run allowing close to 1,000 yards over the last three games with Kansas State, TCU, and Texas eating the defensive front as a snack.
Everyone’s getting fat on the OU D, and now it’s KU’s turn.
So why is a team that got blown out by Texas 49-0, gave up 55 to TCU, and allowed over 500 yards at home giving away nine points to a 5-1 team that’s playing so well?
Again, Gabriel should be back, and it is Oklahoma at home, but there’s also the concern about the Kansas offense with star QB Jalon Daniels out. However …
The name Jason Bean should ring a bell.
He stepped in last week against TCU and threw for 262 yards and four scores to go along with 34 rushing yards. He’s better known, though, for the 59 yards he ran for last year against Oklahoma to go with his 17-of-23, 246-yard, one-score passing day. Kansas lost 35-23 with the game getting out of hand late, but it took something special for Caleb Williams to pull that off.
Until Oklahoma’s defense shows it wants to play again this season, and if I’m just crazy enough to think Kansas +250 on the moneyline might fly …
Yeah, this feels like a trap, but so has every other Kansas game this year.
