Texas fans cheered on Kansas as Oklahoma’s title odds plummeted after upset loss

Oklahoma’s loss is Texas’ gain.

The Kansas Jayhawks have avenged the Texas Longhorns after the latter fell to Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry game … or something like that.

As Kansas shocked No. 6 Oklahoma in a 38-33 home victory, Texas showed the game’s final seconds on the jumbotron at Darrell K Royal Texas Memorial Stadium.

Longhorns fans cheered on the Jayhawks as they toppled the Sooners, a game that looks to already have had national title implications for betting.

DraftKings punted Oklahoma’s national championship odds from +1400 all the way down to +4000 after losing to Kansas, while Texas got a nice bump from +2500 to +1600.

Indeed, oddsmakers seemed to penalize Oklahoma losing to an unranked Kansas much more than Texas losing to a ranked Oklahoma.

It was Oklahoma’s first loss of the year, and it’s already proved to be a costly one with the sportsbooks.

Texas fans will now hope the Longhorns can take advantage of Oklahoma losing and keep the wins coming for a College Football Playoff berth.
