The current betting odds have Oklahoma listed as a 4 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Oklahoma has looked really good in their games this season with their 15-4 record overall which has them ranked inside the top 25 teams in the country. They haven't looked as good in the Big 12 with their 3-3 conference record, but the Big 12 is also a very tough conference with some of the best teams in the country and they have had a tougher schedule lately with some road games. They have looked a lot better on their home court all season too with their 11-1 home record. Meanwhile, Texas Tech has also looked great in their games this season with their 15-3 record overall which also has them ranked inside the top 25 teams in the country. They have looked good in the Big 12 too with their 4-1 conference record which is leading the Big 12, but they have also been playing most of their games on their home court. They haven't looked nearly as good in their road games this season with their 1-2 road record and as good as they have looked in their conference games so far, they have been overachieving a little. Oklahoma has a solid team and they are going to be looking to bounce back with a much needed win after losing to Texas in their last game. The best way to place a bet here is on Oklahoma to cover the spread in this game.
