1. Baylor keeps it within a score
What if I told you Baylor would put up quite the fight and take the Sooners down to the wire? You’d probably call me crazy, but the Bears have the potential to put up a fight despite the fact that they’ve been lightly-tested this season.
Why will this one be so close? Oklahoma will take the Bears lightly. Despite being brought to overtime on their home field against Army, the Sooners will look at Baylor as a fairly easy victory and that will, in turn, lead to the defense struggling to slow Charlie Brewer and Denzel Mims.
Brewer has been gaining steam after a slow start, throwing six touchdown passes to no interceptions over the last three games and he’s completing about 63 percent of his passes.
The passing attack will go off while John Lovett will bounce back, putting together a serviceable performance on the ground.
Oklahoma will win this one and even hold a two-touchdown lead for most of the contest, but the Bears will beat the spread and make the Sooners sweat it out.
