In a rare afternoon addition of the Red River Showdown, the No. 1 Texas Longhorns are 14.5-point favorites over the No. 18 Oklahoma Sooners for the Oct. 12 matchup at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, according to FanDuel.
For the fifth time in the last seven meetings, both teams are ranked heading into the rivalry game with the Longhorns at 5-0 and the Sooners at 4-1. The way that the two newest members of the SEC have gone about those victories are quite different, however — Texas has out-scored its five opponents 12-35 while Oklahoma struggled to beat Houston, Tulane, and Auburn while losing to then-No.
