Oklahoma (1-0) is starting out conference play as major favorites.
The Sooners have won five-straight Big 12 Championships, but 2019 was one of their toughest roads yet. Oklahoma won four one-possession games in its final five of the regular season to win the Big 12 last season, but lost the game prior to that by one point to Kansas State in a shocking upset.
Lincoln Riley and the 2020 Sooners host the Wildcats on Saturday, and open up Big 12 play as 28.5-point favorites according to BetMGM.

Oklahoma got off to the right start this season with a comfortable 48-0 win over FCS Missouri State. Spencer Rattler made his debut, throwing for 290 yards and four touchdowns as Alex Grinch’s defense got off to an impressive start in year two of his defense.
Kansas State was a more than three touchdown underdog at home to Oklahoma a year ago. The Wildcats fended off an enormous comeback attempt from Jalen Hurts and the Sooners to win 42-41. It was Oklahoma’s only loss of 2019 until a loss to LSU in the College Football Playoff.
The Sooners and Kansas State kickoff at 11 a.m. CT in Norman, Oklahoma, on Saturday.
