The Sooners won the first meeting this season, 34-31, but had to come back from a 28-3 second quarter deficit to get the job done and only managed 10 points in the first half against a strong Baylor defense. The total in that first matchup closed at 69 and never appeared to be in jeopardy, with the Sooners starting slow and Baylor failing to score a point in the second half.
Baylor's defense ranks 18th in the nation in yards per play (4.77) and has a slew of playmakers who can disrupt Oklahoma offensively like linebacker Terrel Bernard, defensive tackle James Lynch and cornerback Grayland Arnold. In the first matchup, Bernard had 15 tackles, a sack and a fumble recovery, while Arnold had eight tackles and an interception that he returned 71 yards.
Sallee has also found two other college football picks he's high on, including a favorite that comes through in the clutch. You can only see who he's backing at SportsLine.
