Bet on Oklahoma Moneyline (-102) as the highest expected value pick due to their perfect recent form, defensive dominance, and motivation to maintain the undefeated streak. The spread (-1.5) favoring Texas is too close and less backed by current momentum. Expect a moderately high-scoring game but lean towards the under due to strong defenses and rivalry intensity.
