Sooners open as double-digit favorites ahead of matchup with Kansas State
The Oklahoma Sooners will open Big 12 play against the Kansas State Wildcats this Saturday night under the lights in Norman. Starting the season 3-0, the Oklahoma Sooners are 2-1 against the spread, narrowly missing against Kent State despite the 30-point win in week two.
The Kansas State Wildcats are 2-1, having recently lost to the Tulane Green Wave 17-10 at home on Saturday.
Still nearly a week out from the Sooners’ primetime matchup with the Wildcats, Oklahoma is an early 13-point favorite according to BetMGM.
Though Kansas State will bring a really good defense to Norman, they haven’t played a team like the Sooners yet. Kansas State doesn’t have the offensive firepower to keep up with the Sooners aside from Deuce Vaughn.
Quarterback Adrian Martinez is averaging a career-low 4.6 yards per attempt passing. Vaughn is averaging 5.7 yards per carry. Yes, you read that right. Martinez is averaging fewer yards per attempt than Vaughn is per carry, and that’s shocking.
We’ll have more to get you ready for the Oklahoma Sooners vs. Kansas State later in the week, but it would not be surprising to see the line move further in Oklahoma’s favor as the week goes along. But now would be a great time to get in on Oklahoma minus-13.
