This is something that very much applies to the Oklahoma Sooners, as they need to find a way to respond in Week 8 against TCU after going down to the Texas Longhorns in the Red River Showdown before heading into a bye week. The Sooners will have had plenty of time to think about that stunning loss, so it’s going to be interesting to see how they react as an 8 ½ point favorite. The point total has been set at 61 ½.

Why bet on the Oklahoma Sooners?
Coming into this season, the biggest concern for Sooners fans was how they were going to replace Baker Mayfield at the QB position. Those concerns were soon put to rest when they saw what Kyler Murray brought to the table. The Oklahoma offense has remained electric and has barely missed a beat from last season, averaging 48 PPG.They fell a little short of their season average against the Texas Longhorns a couple of weeks ago and it ended up costing them, as they went down 48-45 in a thrilling Red River Showdown. The Sooners need to shake that off and get back to doing what they do best, including winning on the road, where they are 12-1 SU in their last 13. They are 7-1 SU against TCU in their last 8 meetings but have an issue covering in road games, going 1-6 ATS in their last 7.

Why bet on the TCU Horned Frogs?
The Horned Frogs season is certainly not going to plan, as they now look like a team that seems to have given up on the year, losing 3 of their last 4 games and not being particularly competitive in the process. They were in as the favorite for 2 of those 3 losses, which makes their decline all the more difficult to swallow.
This is a team that is now just 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games, with things getting even worse at home, where they are just 1-5 ATS in their last 6. At this rate, the Horned Frogs are going to be lucky to even get into a bowl game, as it’s tough to see where those 3 more wins they need to be bowl eligible might come from.
