It’s hard to pick three games this weekend since only three Big 12 teams are actually favored in their matchups. Since Houston is favored over Texas Tech, the three favorites in conference openers have to be included on this list.

However, Oklahoma has the smallest chance of getting upset this weekend. Baylor has had as much trouble as any team in the country winning games. They’ve lost to the UTSA Roadrunners, Liberty Flames, and Duke Blue Devils.

The good news for Baylor fans is that the Bears looked much better in their Week 3 matchup with Duke. Head coach Matt Rhule is working as hard as he can to get this program back on track. Oklahoma is just not a team that will likely be challenged by Baylor right now.

Look out for Baylor to make more progress and hopefully, for them, keep it close early. Senior quarterback Baker Mayfield could have his way completely and we could end up seeing Kyler Murray behind center early in the second half.
