Sooners So Far This Season

From ESPN.com: "OU's defense just hasn't been good enough in recent seasons. That all came to a head after the Sooners gave up a Red River Showdown-record 48 points to Texas in a loss, prompting Lincoln Riley to fire coordinator Mike Stoops the next day. Coming out of a bye week, will the Sooners be any sharper defensively under interim coordinator Ruffin McNeill? The answer to that will decide whether OU can still make a run at the playoff."

Line Moves and Who the Public is Backing

88% of those betting the spread were backing Oklahoma, yet oddsmakers have brought the number back down from -8 to -7 at some books.  This is an obvious opinion that TCU will cover.

Oklahoma vs. TCU Betting Trends, Prediction

The books anticipate a cover by TCU so that's a good bet at +7.5 if you can get that number as opposed to +7.  Most books have come off the +8 but it could still be available.

The Sooners have enjoyed statement victories over the Horned Frogs over the last three seasons but AthlonSports has expressed concerns over Oklahoma's defense.

"In light of the changes that have taken place for Oklahoma’s defense, it’s impossible to know what kind of effort to expect from the Sooners on Saturday. If Lincoln Riley is correct in his assessment that the players really need to hear a new voice on that side of the ball, it could give them a spark. If not, the only flying sparks will be coming from OU’s D as it burns to the ground."
