The power of the Big 12 is at stake this week with Texas and Oklahoma squaring off against each other in Dallas.
The Longhorns are coming off an embarrassing loss to TCU at home and a nervy 2-1 record. The Sooners are in worse shape, dropping their opening two conference matchups to Kansas State and Iowa State.
Both teams had Big 12 championship hopes that can be swiped away with a loss on Saturday. Baylor, Kansas State, Iowa State, and Oklahoma State will all be looking to take advantage of the two powerhouses having down years.
To say this is an important Red River Shootout would be an understatement. Tom Herman will need a win to cool off his seat while Lincoln Riley will be trying to avoid a three-loss season for the first time in his career.
Here are who the experts are picking for Saturday’s Texas-Oklahoma game:
