No. 20 Oklahoma opened as an eight-point favorite over Texas on Sunday, according to 5Dimes.

The Sooners were also eight-point favorite offshore, where lines tend to fluctuate earlier than Vegas odds.

Although no over/under has yet been released, this year's Red River Showdown could turn into a shootout. Oklahoma ranks No. 103 in the FBS in scoring defense at 35.
