The Baylor Bears are still unbeaten and their offense has been about as good as it gets - even better than when RGIII was calling signals here. Baylor has been nearly flawless at home where in five games they have out-scored their opponents 353-72. The Bears have been all about offense for the past few years, but this team can also play a little defense. Oklahoma has lost just one time, in their annual rivalry game with Texas in a 16-point loss. That loss shows that this is is a good, but not great, Sooners team that lost a lot of key skill players from a year ago. The Sooners have struggled to put together consecutive good defensive games. They stand at 4-12-1 ATS when following a game where they held their previous opponent to under 100 yards rushing. Interestingly enough, the Bears are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 after gaining 200+ yards on the ground in their previous game. They are also great in expected shootouts, going 11-3 ATS the past three seasons when facing a team like Oklahoma that averages 31+ points per game. Meanwhile, the Sooners are 0-7 ATS over that span when playing in a game with a total set at 70 or more. Since Art Briles arrived in town, the Bears are 23-11 ATS in home games. There is a changing of the guard in the Big-12. Take Baylor.
