Oklahoma is, again, a small favorite for the third-straight conference game.
The Sooners were just a touchdown favorite on the road at Iowa State before losing in a 37-30 upset. Oklahoma was just a 2.5-point favorite in its annual rivalry game against Texas before winning 53-45 in a quadruple overtime game.
Lincoln Riley and his 2020 team were able to pick themselves off the mat at the Cotton Bowl against the Longhorns. It would’ve been Oklahoma’s first 0-3 start in conference play since the mid-90s.
Now, the Sooners head on the road to play a reeling TCU team. Gary Patterson’s Horned Frogs are off to a 1-2 start in Big 12 play, too.
Oklahoma is just a 6.5-point favorite over TCU in Fort Worth, Texas, according to BetMGM.

The Sooners are not used to being this low of favorites in games outside of OU-Texas. Oklahoma has been 6.5-point favorites or lower just nine times in its last 30 road games. Since 2015, Riley and the Sooners have been this low of a favorite seven times.
Oklahoma and TCU will kickoff on Saturday at 11 a.m. CT from Fort Worth, Texas.
