There's a consistent theme with this game in which the total is set a little too high every year. The perception of both these teams is high-powered offenses and bad defenses, but that's always been a bit misleading. It's particularly so this year, as Oklahoma isn't nearly as explosive offensively as we're used to seeing. This isn't going to be a low-scoring slugfest or anything, but it's not going to get crazy, either.

Both teams can light up the scoreboard, and Texas in particular has been playing high scoring games. The Sooners will be perfectly happy to run up and down the field with the Longhorns. Oklahoma has yet to beat an FBS team by more than 7 and I think Texas could win, but I like the over better.

The way the Longhorns are playing offensively, it makes you wonder why wasn't QB Casey Thompson wasn't the season-opening starter. He provides a different element to the Longhorns' offense, which is on fire right now thanks to Thompson and RB Bijan Robinson. Oklahoma has been a bit up-and-down this season, despite its 5-0 start. This game, like many of their previous battles, will be a high-scoring, chaotic affair. But there's a good chance Texas will get the win because of its consistency.
