Bottom line

The Sooners are a 12-point favorite over Oklahoma State, according to The Action Network and other oddsmakers. Oklahoma has not done a good job in recent weeks covering the point spread, and I have a hunch this year’s Bedlam game may be a bit closer than the experts say.

If the best OU has to offer shows up in Stillwater on Saturday, the Sooners should win this game handily. But we all know how that has gone the last four games, and OSU claims it has played some of its best ball of the season during its current four-game win streak.

Oklahoma will win the game, but it won’t be without a few nervous moments on the part of Sooner fans.
