Oklahoma at Baylor picks and predictions
Prediction
Baylor 72, Oklahoma 70
Moneyline
PASS.
I like the Bears (-260) to pick up the win here as they have been dominant in recent meetings with Oklahoma, but they are not worth the risk of betting on as such heavy favorites.
Against the spread
LEAN OKLAHOMA +6.5 (-115).
Oklahoma has covered the spread in 2 of its last 3 matchups vs. Baylor in Texas, and the Sooners are also 13-11 ATS this season.
Neither team has won back-to-back games ATS in this matchup in the last 5 meetings since Jan. 6, 2021. Baylor covered in the last matchup, so it is safe to lean toward Oklahoma here.
This is a lean because both teams are very good ATS and because the ATS battle has been very even in recent matchups.
