Why Oklahoma can cover
If there was ever a time for Oklahoma to be motivated, it would be this week. The Sooners are coming off the most lopsided shutout loss in school history, getting blanked by Texas in a 49-0 final. They were without starting quarterback Dillon Gabriel (head), but he could return for this game.
Even if Gabriel is unable to play, senior running back Eric Gray should feast on Kansas' defense. Gray has gone over 100 rushing yards on three occasions this year, averaging 6.7 yards per carry overall this season. He is facing a Kansas defense that has allowed at least 27 points in four of its six games, and the Jayhawks are in an emotional letdown spot following their first loss of the campaign. Kansas is also likely to be without its starting quarterback on Saturday.
Why Kansas can cover
This line opened with Oklahoma favored by a touchdown, but the early betting action has pushed the line to -9. The Sooners are reeling heading into this game though, with their latest game being a 49-0 loss to rival Texas. They lost to TCU by 31 points the week prior, giving them no momentum coming into this matchup against an inspired Kansas team.
The Jayhawks will not have star quarterback Jalon Daniels on the field for this game, but backup Jason Bean set a school record with four second-half touchdown passes last week. He is facing an Oklahoma defense that has allowed 48.3 points per game during its last three games. Kansas held a 10-0 lead at halftime last year, and the Jayhawks will be motivated to avenge their recent struggles against Oklahoma.
