Against the spread
LEAN BAYLOR -9.5 (-110).
Baylor has played well on its home floor this season with a 11-2 record while Oklahoma has played poorly on the road with a 1-5 record. The Bears are coming off a massive home win as 9.5-point favorites and will be looking for a duplicate performance again on Wednesday to propel them into the top 10.
Baylor’s offense ranks 31st in the nation in points per game (78.9) and is facing a Sooners’ defense that allows 66.3 points per game (86th).
The Sooners have been struggling against the spread recently with a 1-5-1 ATS record in their last 7 games while Baylor is 5-2-1 ATS in its last 8.
Over/Under
BET OVER 140.5 (-110).
Both teams’ O/U record this season is 12-11 pointing toward their ability to score a lot of points.
The Over is 3-0 in the Sooners’ last 3 games, 6-2 in their last 8, and 6-2 in their last 8 road games.
For Baylor, the Over is 9-1 in its last 10 games following an outright win of more than 20 points. As it stands, 140.5 points would be the Bear’s second-lowest closing line in their last 10 games.
