The Oklahoma vs. Baylor line was sitting at Sooners -7, though a few online sportsbooks had the spread a half point higher. 70 percent of the backing on the spread was going Oklahoma’s way. Close to 75 percent of the money line action was going to the Sooners. The total was 64.5 with 85 percent of the bets coming in on the OVER.
Oklahoma could play for a berth in the Big 12 championship game in its regular-season finale, but must first overcome another key injury and win on the road for the first time in a year, Stats LLC points out.
"It's all mental on the road. We have to have that edge from the get-go," running back DeMarco Murray said.
The defense has allowed 69 points on the road in their last two losses.
"We've got to dig out a win," receiver Ryan Broyles said. "The road games aren't easy, but we're capable of making plays. We've just got to be poised and come out with a win."
Oklahoma has won the last 10 in this series but Baylor has covered 5 of the last 7.
