College Football Betting Preview: Oklahoma Sooners vs. TCU Horned Frogs

November 24, 2023



The TCU Horned Frogs will travel to Norman, Oklahoma to face the 14th-ranked Oklahoma Sooners at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium on Friday afternoon in week 13 of the college football season in a battle of two Big 12 teams with the game scheduled to start at 12:00 PM ET on Friday afternoon and will air on Fox.

A season after playing for the National Championship, the TCU Horned Frogs need a win just to become bowl-eligible as they enter this game with a record of 5-6 and are in 9th place in the Big 12 with a record of 3-5 in conference games. The Horned Frogs finally ended their three-game losing streak on Saturday with a 42-17 win at home against the Baylor Bears, but still need a win against the Oklahoma Sooners on Friday afternoon to become bowl-eligible. The defense for the Horned Frogs has been solid for the majority of the season as they are allowing an average of 24.09 points per game which is below the national average of 25.46 points per game.

The Oklahoma Sooners are still alive for a rematch against the Texas Longhorns in the Big 12 Championship game as they enter this game with a record of 9-2 and are tied with the Oklahoma State Cowboys and the Kansas State Wildcats for 2nd place in the Big 12 with a record of 6-2 in conference games. However, the loss against Oklahoma State in week 10 may come back to cost them the spot as they will likely need the Cowboys to lose this week to make it to the championship game against Texas. The Sooners enter this game on a two-game winning streak and have outscored their opponents 90-44 during the streak which includes a 31-24 win on the road against the BYU Cougars last Saturday. The offense has been one of the best scoring offenses in college football this season as they enter this matchup ranked 4th in college football in points per game with an average of 40.82 points per game.

BookMaker has the Oklahoma Sooners listed as 11-point favorites at home against the TCU Horned Frogs on Friday afternoon in week 13 of the college football season. Oklahoma has won eight of the last ten and two of the last three meetings while going 6-4 ATS in the last ten and 2-1 ATS in the last three games in the series. The TCU Horned Frogs are 5-6 ATS overall, 1-3 ATS on the road, 1-2 ATS as an underdog, and 4-4 ATS in conference games this season while the Oklahoma Sooners are 7-4 ATS overall, 4-1 ATS at home, 6-4 ATS as a favorite, and 4-4 ATS in conference games on the year.

The Oklahoma Sooners have been one of the best teams in the Big 12 this season as they enter this game with a record of 6-2 in the conference and a record of 9-2 overall while having dominated the series against TCU as they have won eight of the last ten and two of the last three meetings. The Sooners have also been the better team at covering the spread this season as they are 7-4 ATS overall and 4-1 ATS at home while the Horned Frogs are 5-6 ATS overall and 1-3 ATS on the road. As a result, I am laying the points with the Oklahoma Sooners when they host the TCU Horned Frogs in week 13 of the college football season.
