Oklahoma at Kansas Predictions
The Sooners, despite their undefeated record, have shown signs of vulnerability in recent games. Their last two victories have been by a margin of 4 or fewer points, indicating a potential struggle in closing out games. However, their offensive prowess, led by senior quarterback Dillon Gabriel, cannot be underestimated. Gabriel leads the conference in passing yards, touchdowns, and passing yards per game, making him a significant threat to the Jayhawks’ defense.
On the other side, the Jayhawks have shown resilience at home, boasting a perfect 4-0 record. Their offense, while not as explosive as the Sooners’, has been efficient, ranking third in the Big 12 in scoring. The absence of starting quarterback Jalon Daniels due to injury could be a significant factor, but backup Jason Bean has shown promise, throwing for 410 yards and five touchdowns in their last game against Oklahoma State. However, Bean will need to minimize mistakes against a formidable Sooners defense that ranks top 10 in Havoc, third downs, and Finishing Drives.
Oklahoma Sooners at Kansas Jayhawks Pick
The Oklahoma Sooners, despite their recent close calls, have shown an ability to win under pressure. Their offensive prowess, led by senior quarterback Dillon Gabriel, is a significant threat to the Kansas Jayhawks. Gabriel leads the conference in several key areas, including passing yards, touchdowns, and passing yards per game. This, coupled with the Sooners’ strong defensive performance this season, makes them a formidable opponent. The Sooners are also 2-0 against the spread on the road, indicating their ability to perform well in away games.
On the other hand, while the Jayhawks have been resilient at home, they face a significant challenge in the absence of their starting quarterback, Jalon Daniels. Backup Jason Bean, despite his promising performance against Oklahoma State, will need to minimize mistakes against a Sooners defense that ranks top 10 in Havoc, third downs, and Finishing Drives. Given these factors, and considering the Sooners’ recent track record and the Jayhawks’ quarterback situation, the pick would be the Oklahoma Sooners against the Spread.
The Pick: Oklahoma Sooners -9.5 (DraftKings)
