Oklahoma at TCU: Three things to know
- Oklahoma has failed to cover the spread in eight of its last 11 games. Because of their defense, too often games are closer than their talent indicates.
- The Over has hit in nine of the last 13 games for TCU as the Horned Frogs defense has dropped off quite a bit over the last few years. They’re now a team that struggles to get opponents off the field and it’s a big reason why the Over has become such a popular pick.
- Oklahoma has won 18 of its last 20 road games as the offense usually travels well against big-time opponents.

Oklahoma at TCU: Odds, prediction, betting lines and picks
Prediction
Oklahoma 35, TCU 27
Money line (ML)
OKLAHOMA (-239) is a money line favorite over TCU despite being on the road. The Sooners already have two losses on the season, but their potent offense makes them a tough out each and every week. While there isn’t a ton of value on the money line, the Sooners are still the right pick this week.
Against the spread (ATS)
OKLAHOMA -6.5 (-110) is a touchdown favorite Saturday afternoon and it’s not hard to understand why. The Sooners are averaging nearly 42 points per game and they have covered the spread in four of the last five meetings between these two teams.
Expect this game to be close throughout as Oklahoma’s defense will keep any team around, but look for the Sooners to ultimately win by 7 or more points in this contest.
Over/Under (O/U)
The total for this week is set at 59.5 points and that feels low considering how well each offense has played this season. Oklahoma has one of the best offenses in college football and TCU is averaging 27 points per game.
Look for both teams to approach 30 points, if not more and for the OVER 59.5 (-106) to hit at Amon G. Carter Stadium.
