The Kansas Jayhawks (5-1, 2-1 Big 12) take on the Oklahoma Sooners (3-3, 0-3) at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium Saturday. Kickoff is scheduled for noon ET (ESPN2). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Kansas vs. Oklahoma odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
Kansas QB Jalon Daniels is unlikely to play vs. Oklahoma after injuring his shoulder in a 38-31 home loss vs. the TCU Horned Frogs last Saturday. Backup QB Jason Bean replaced Daniels and threw for 262 yards, 4 TD and 1 INT on 16-of-24 passing.
Oklahoma failed to cover as a 7.5-point underdog in a 49-0 loss vs. the Texas Longhorns at the Cotton Bowl. Sooners starting QB Dillon Gabriel was out with a concussion and Pitt transfer Davis Beville started, hitting 6 of 12 passes for just 38 yards and 1 INT. Gabriel is expected to return Saturday vs. Kansas.

Kansas at Oklahoma picks and predictions
Prediction
Oklahoma 37, Kansas 20
Moneyline
PASS.
Oklahoma (-340) ML should hit, but is too expensive to bet with all the question marks in this game. Bean looked good in the 2nd half vs. TCU, but should still be a downgrade from Daniels.
Against the spread
BET OKLAHOMA -9.5 (-108).
This line may look high at 1st considering Bean’s heroics vs. TCU, but the expectation here is that Bean will regress toward the mean and show why he is a backup QB. Oklahoma was embarrassed last week vs. Texas and will take advantage of the opportunity to blow out a Kansas team that’s not at full strength.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 62.5 (-112).
Bean throwing for 4 TDs in a half is not sustainable over the course of multiple games. Kansas should have much more trouble scoring this week vs. a focused Oklahoma defense off of an embarrassing loss. The Under is 9-1-1 in Oklahoma’s last 11 games following a double-digit loss at home. Expect Kansas’ offense to struggle.
