Staff & Community Predictions 2019: Oklahoma

Staff Predictions

Oddshark had the line at -24.5 at the time I asked for the staff’s predictions.

Dan Swany
Straight Up (2-1): Oklahoma
Against the Spread (2-1): Texas Tech
Commentary: I’m not putting a score on this one; with Bowman out, I need to see what we look like with a new QB1. I’ll take OU winning, but I’m going to say they don’t cover the spread.

Keith
Straight Up (2-1): Oklahoma
Against the Spread (2-1): Oklahoma
Commentary: Oklahoma 65, Texas Tech 21

Kyle Jacobson

Straight Up (3-0): Oklahoma
Against the Spread (3-0): 
Oklahoma
Commentary: 
OU is averaging 55 pts/game and Jalen Hurts has a passing efficiency of 50.2, which is #1 in all FBS. While OU’s defense still looked susceptible allowing 31 against Houston (who then lost to Tulane), I don’t trust that TTU will be able to put that many points on the board. I’m picking OU to cover with a score of 49-17 after Tech adds a late touchdown.

Michael LaBarre
Straight Up (3-0): Oklahoma
Against the Spread (3-0): 
Oklahoma
Commentary: 
I couldn’t decide if I wanted Oklahoma to cover or not. Tech’s defense has looked solid so far, but Oklahoma is a different animal. And with two back-ups playing, I just see don’t see Tech keeping it close. Oklahoma 42, Texas Tech 14.

Spencer
Straight Up (2-1): Oklahoma
Against the Spread (2-1): 
Oklahoma
Commentary: 
Oklahoma 55, Texas Tech 13

Brian
Straight Up (2-0): Oklahoma
Against the Spread (1-1): Texas Tech
Commentary: Oklahoma 41, Texas Tech 17

Seth
Straight Up (2-1): Oklahoma
Against the Spread (2-1): Oklahoma
Commentary: I’ll go 56-21. I don’t see this offense covering that spread.

Community Predictions:

Straight Up (2-1): 88% of y’all picked Texas Tech to win. Looked fine still around the fourth quarter when it fell apart.
Against the Spread (2-1): 85% of y’all picked the Red Raiders to win by 3 or more. This one was going to be a little tougher because Tech has a one point lead, and could’ve won with that score and not covered.
