I like Oklahoma they have absolutely owned this match up the last few years and although this line is a little fishy I'm sticking with my guts here as Texas A&m looks like they are making a huge gamble starting Ryan Tannehill at QB as it looks like Jerrod Johnson (darkhorse Hesiman candidate) is being benched. This will be something as Tannehill lit up Texas Tech, but that was TExas Tech 119th pass defense and this is Oklahoma ranked #29 in pass efficiency defense and under rated because of their yards allowed at #83 int he country. They are taller, stronger, faster than Texas Tech. We get a weak line for a few reasons. The idea that Oklahoma struggles on the road which they absolutely have, but I believe this is an inferior opponent that is getting more credit for blowing out two bad defensive teams in Kansas and Texas Tech. Oklahoma is better on both sides of the ball than those teams and they should really give Texas A&M's defense troubles as they are ranked 102nd vs the pass.
landry Jones is having a special year with 21 TDs and 5 interceptions leading the #5 ranked passing offense. Oklahoma should also create some issues as they will blitz A&M has allowed 27 sacks this year and could get hurt in this spot. Oklahoma's under rated defense also is top 5 in the nation in tackles for loss per game with 8.3. The common opponent was MIssouri both teams lost, but Oklahoma was much more competitive on the road vs. Missouri than AM was at home in a 9-30 beat down.
