MATCHUP SUMMARY

The Oklahoma Sooners are by far the better team here which would make them the easy choice however this line at -6 does not make much sense from a team that’s obviously superior beat them by 16 points last year is only a six-point favorite. North Texas has good defensive talent to hold the Sooners to less than 60 points as they have been doing.  However, the Mean Green Eagles do not have much offensive production. They should be able to keep this game close but a win is doubtful.
