Oklahoma at Kansas

This line is surprisingly low to me. I believe the oddsmakers see a letdown spot for the Sooners after the disappointing three-point loss to Texas. But, after their 10-point loss to Texas a year ago, the Sooners beat Kansas by 14 the following week. Oklahoma hasn't lost a football game after playing Texas since losing to Missouri in 1998. They've played good following the Red River Rivalry, going 12-1 straight up and 8-5 ATS in their last 13 such games. They are also 9-3 ATS overall in their last twelve games following a loss. If you looked at this game before the season and saw 7.5 you would have grabbed it for as much as you could. Granted, the Sooners are without Sam Bradford but the dropoff is not that dramatic. They have been without him for much of the season and they have lost three games by a total of five points, and won three by a total of 135! How's that for perspective? Kansas had their hands full with Iowa State two weeks ago and last week lost to Colorado. The reality here is that Oklahoma is a far better team than Kansas, even with Landry Jones behind center. Jones has thrown for over 1,100 yards and 11 touchdowns in five games and he's getting more comfortable every week. The Jayhawks are a poor play as a home dog as they are 7-18 ATS in their last 25. This one belongs to Oklahoma.
