The Kansas Jayhawks have avenged the Texas Longhorns after the latter fell to Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry game … or something like that.
As Kansas shocked No. 6 Oklahoma in a 38-33 home victory, Texas showed the game’s final seconds on the jumbotron at Darrell K Royal Texas Memorial Stadium.
Longhorns fans cheered on the Jayhawks as they toppled the Sooners, a game that looks to already have had national title implications for betting.
DraftKings punted Oklahoma’s national championship odds from +1400 all the way down to +4000 after losing to Kansas, while Texas got a nice bump from +2500 to +1600.
Indeed, oddsmakers seemed to penalize Oklahoma losing to an unranked Kansas much more than Texas losing to a ranked Oklahoma.

It was Oklahoma’s first loss of the year, and it’s already proved to be a costly one with the sportsbooks.
Texas fans will now hope the Longhorns can take advantage of Oklahoma losing and keep the wins coming for a College Football Playoff berth.
