After a four-game homestand, the Oklahoma Sooners will be on the road. Oklahoma and the Kansas State Wildcats will face off in a Big 12 battle at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. The Sooners won't have the home-field advantage, but they do enjoy a 10.5-point advantage in the spread.
Oklahoma came out on top in a nail-biter against the West Virginia Mountaineers last week, sneaking past 16-13. The overall outcome was to be expected, but West Virginia made it more of a game than the oddsmakers had predicted. No one had a standout game offensively for Oklahoma, but they got one touchdown from RB Austin Stogner.
Most of the squad's points came courtesy of special teams, which contributed ten. K Gabe Brkic delivered a perfect 3-for-3 game.
Meanwhile, K-State came up short against the Oklahoma State Cowboys last week, falling 31-20. Like the Sooners, the Wildcats didn't have any clear offensive standouts, but RB Deuce Vaughn led the way with one touchdown. One of the most thrilling moments was Vaughn's 55-yard TD reception in the third quarter.
This next matchup looks promising for Oklahoma, who are favored by a full 10.5 points. They may be expected to win, but bettors beware: they are 0-3 against the spread when favored.
Oklahoma is now a perfect 4-0 while K-State sits at 3-1. A couple numbers to keep in mind before kickoff: Oklahoma is stumbling into the contest with the 138th most passing yards allowed per game in the nation, having given up 221.8 on average. The Wildcats have experienced some struggles of their own as they are 197th worst in the nation in passing yards per game, with only 160.8 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
