After mounting the largest comeback in program history, No. 9 Oklahoma (9-1, 6-1 Big 12) plays host to Gary Patterson and TCU (5-5, 3-4) under the lights.

The Sooners turned in its best performance of the season in the second half of the Baylor game a week ago. Alex Grinch’s defense swarmed to the football and Jalen Hurts went from looking like someone who could be replaced to the best player in college football after halftime.

Oklahoma must win and win convincingly to keep up its argument for the College Football Playoff.

Prediction

Oklahoma 48, TCU 24

Moneyline (ML)

Oklahoma (-910) is just too costly at this price level, and you cannot trust TCU (+560), even with a shaky Sooners defense and Lamb uncertain to play.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on Oklahoma to win would return a profit of $1.10.

Against the Spread (ATS)

OKLAHOMA (-18.5, -106) has a high-octane offensive attack, led by dynamic QB Jalen Hurts, and even if Lamb doesn’t play, it proved last week the offense is deep enough to overcome his absence. TCU (+18.5, -115) is desperate, needing a win this week or next week to attain bowl eligibility. The Horned Frogs host West Virginia next week in a much more winnable game. The Sooners are going to blow their doors off.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 64.5 (-110) has been the play in games involving the Sooners lately, going 3-1. Oklahoma has registered 34 or more points in all 10 of its games to date. The Over is also 4-0 in the past four for the Horned Frogs.

TCU has earned a few wins over Oklahoma, but not recently

After the largest comeback in Oklahoma football history, the Sooner’s welcome in TCU. Here’s a look back at their series history.

After the largest comeback in Oklahoma football history, the Sooners’ matchup with TCU is fast approaching.

Oklahoma currently holds a 14-5 record over the Horned Frogs. 

TCU won two of the first three matchups with Oklahoma, winning 13-7 in 1945 and 20-7 in 1947, its largest win in the series. The Sooners rattled off three straight wins, two of which were in Fort Worth. 

Oklahoma won in 1948 and 1954, and the teams didn’t meet again until 1993, when the Sooners won by their largest deficit in series history at 35-3. 

In 2014, TCU earned their last win over Oklahoma 37-33. Since then, the Sooners have won five-straight matchups, their longest streak versus the Horned Frogs. TCU has never won two games in a row in the series.

The last game at Gaylord Stadium will be played at 7 p.m. CT on Saturday, as the Sooners look for their sixth-straight win over TCU.

A statistical look at Oklahoma’s opponent (TCU)

Last week, Oklahoma had a historic win over Baylor. This week, a matchup with TCU. Here’s a statistical look at the Horned Frogs.

Last week, Oklahoma had a historic come-from-behind win over Baylor. This week, a matchup with 5-5 TCU.

But this game is just as important for their College Football Playoff hopes as the last. Here’s a statistical look at Gary Patterson’s Horned Frogs.

Keeping it close

The Horned Frogs are the kings of keeping it close. Excluding their 49-24 loss to Iowa State in early October, the rest of their losses have been within one score at an average of 5.75 points. Their games with SMU, Kansas State, Baylor and Oklahoma State have all come down to the wire. Oklahoma has had a history of letting teams hang around this season, and they’ll need to get up big early, or they might have their third shootout in a row on their hands. 

Horned Frog Defense

With a 34-point performance on the Baylor defense, TCU has officially been made the top defense in the Big 12. Trevon Moehrig and Vernon Scott are two legit safeties, who are apart of a unit that allows just 209 passing yards per game. Jalen Hurts, who averages 304 passing yard per game, will need to fix last week’s mistakes to succeed against TCU.

Up-and-down offense

TCU’s offense has split their rushing and passing right down the middle. They average 223 passing yards and 215 rushing yards per game. Last week, Oklahoma finally showed some defensive adjustments, shutting down the Bears offense. This week, they’ll be facing an extremely balanced offense, that has struggled at times. This should be a tune-up game for the Sooners defense, but they can’t have another repeat of last week’s first half. TCU has also lost nine fumbles in 10 games this year, and quarterback Max Duggan nearly has a 2-1 touchdown to interception ration. It should be a perfect week to force some coveted turnovers for Alex Grinch.

CeeDee Lamb’s status for TCU game ‘up in the air’ per Lincoln Riley

The Sooners’ best player may or may not get an opportunity to play in what may be his last home game.

Oklahoma’s best player may or may not get an opportunity to play in what may be his last home game.

Wide receiver, CeeDee Lamb was held out of last Saturday’s game with a undisclosed head injury. Lamb did suit up and go through warm ups in full pads and helmet. However, once game time rolled around, Lamb was without his helmet and changed into street clothes at halftime.

Per Lincoln Riley, Lamb’s availability for this week’s game against TCU is “up in the air”. Without Lamb, multiple wide receivers stepped up against Baylor, including two touchdowns from true freshman, Austin Stogner and one touchdown caught by true freshman, Theo Weese.

Lamb was just named to the Biletnikoff semifinal list today and is the only Big 12 representative on the list.

On the season, Lamb has 983 yards receiving on just 44 receptions, including 13 touchdowns.

Oklahoma and TCU are set to kickoff at 7p.m. CT on FOX.

Oklahoma opens over 2 touchdown favorites against TCU

Despite the last three games, No. 7 Oklahoma (9-1, 6-1 Big 12) has opened back up as a major betting favorite according to BetMGM

Despite the last three games, No. 7 Oklahoma (9-1, 6-1 Big 12) has opened back up as a major betting favorite.

The Sooners were favorited by more than 20 when they lost to Kansas State on the road. They were on the path to covering a two touchdown spread against Iowa State before nearly blowing a 21-point lead, then needed a historic comeback to beat Baylor 34-31 as 10.5-point favorites.

Oklahoma plays host to TCU on Saturday, and opens up as a 17.5-point favorite according to BetMGM.

TCU at Texas Tech odds: Red Raiders short dogs at home

Previewing Saturday’s TCU at Texas Tech college football matchup, with college football betting odds, picks and best bets

[jwplayer 64hUO9C8]

The Texas Christian Horned Frogs (4-5, 2-4 Big 12) and Texas Tech Red Raiders (4-5, 2-4) do battle at Jones AT&T Stadium in Lubbock, Texas, at noon ET Saturday in an elimination game of sorts.

We analyze the TCU-Texas Tech odds and betting lines, while providing college football betting tips and advice on this matchup.

TCU at Texas Tech: Three things you need to know

1. With a game at Oklahoma still on the schedule, TCU can ill-afford a sixth loss in this one if its wants to attain bowl eligibility. The Horned Frogs are coming off a demoralizing 29-23 loss in triple-overtime last week at home to unbeaten Baylor.

2. Texas Tech is in the same boat, as the Red Raiders cannot afford a loss in this one with Kansas State and Texas remaining on the schedule. If they want to go bowling, a win Saturday is imperative.

3. TCU is 2-5 against the spread in the past seven meetings, while going 1-4 ATS in the past five trips to Lubbock.

Prediction

TCU 34, Texas Tech 29

Moneyline (ML)

TCU (-159) nearly dealt Baylor the Bears’ first loss last week, but Baylor forced overtime with a long field in the final minute of regulation. The Horned Frogs then blew it defensively and are in a tough spot heading into this one. Despite some terrible luck against the number against Texas Tech (+130), look to the Horned Frogs to win this one outright.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on Iowa State to win would return a profit of $6.30.

Against the Spread (ATS)

TCU (-2.5, -134) hits the road looking to turn things around against the number in this series. The Horned Frogs are also just 2-6 ATS in the past eight road games, and 1-4 ATS in the past five inside the Big 12. While Texas Tech is 3-1-1 ATS in the past five, and 3-0-1 ATS in the past four at home, Texas Tech’s awful defense will be the difference here. The Red Raiders rank 121st in total yards allowed (470.3) and 127th in passing yards given up (308.6).

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER (56.5, -110) is the worth a look. TCU struggled offensively last week, at least in regulation, before a bad-beat over connected. The Horned Frogs should find a lot more room to operate in Lubbock. The over is 6-1 in the past seven for TCU, and 6-1 in the school’s past seven conference games, too. The over is 4-1-1 in Texas Tech’s past six overall, too.
