College Football Saturday Baylor Bears at Oklahoma Sooners: Start Time, Spread, Free Pick

Hi-res-154851464_crop_exact

CFB Week 11 continues on Saturday afternoon and we will see the Baylor Bears travel to Norman, Oklahoma to take on the Oklahoma Sooners. The game is scheduled for a 3:30 PM (Eastern) start time and it will be televised live on FSN. Currently the odds for the game have Oklahoma favored by 21.5 points, while the total sits at 76. Check out Sportsbook Spy to find out what side the Public is taking on all today's games.

Free Analysis: Talk about a team at polar opposites when it comes to performing in all phases of the game, the Bears are the most potent offensive club in the country, while at the same time ranking dead last in the FBS in total defense. The offense won out last weekend, as BU snapped a three-game losing streak by throttling the visiting Kansas Jayhawks in a 41-14 final. The win was the Bears' first in conference this season, while evening their overall record at 4-4. Only 0-6 Kansas sits behind them in the Big 12 standings. With the nation's leader in total offense at the helm, Baylor averages a robust 581.5 ypg and puts up nearly 44 ppg as a result. Nick Florence accounts for 412.3 ypg all by himself, as he has amassed 3,019 passing yards and another 351 rushing. He has 25 TD passes against 11 interceptions, and Terrance Williams has clearly been his go-to guy, the 6-2 senior hauling in 71 balls for 1,340 yards and 10 scores. The BU run game features four guys who have gained at least 279 yards and have combined for 15 TDs. The Baylor defense has been absolutely horrific this season, giving up just shy of 40 ppg with foes rolling up 200.6 ypg on the ground and 326.6 ypg via the pass. The Bears allow an average of three passing TDs per outing, and they've recorded only 10 sacks and 14 turnovers.

Oklahoma is 6-2 on the year, and the team has won four of its five conference clashes, the most recent of which being a 35-20 decision at Iowa State last Saturday. The Sooners trail undefeated Kansas State in the race for the Big 12 title, and their lone league loss came against the Wildcats (24-19) back on Sept. 22. OU is just 2-2 at home this season, with its last bout in Norman resulting in a 30-13 loss to Notre Dame two weeks ago. Putting points on the board hasn't been a problem for Oklahoma this season, the team currently ranking 15th in the nation with a scoring average of 39.5 ppg. QB Landry Jones is a 65 percent passer who averages 301.8 ypg and has thrown for 16 TDs versus only six interceptions. Kenny Stills has been the Sooners' top weapon down the field, as he has caught 51 balls for 649 yards and six scores, while the OU run game features the talents of guys like Damien Williams (90 carries, 588 yards, seven TDs) and Brennan Clay (54 carries, 372 yards, four TDs). Overall, the team produces 488.8 ypg, has turned the ball over only 11 times, and the offensive line has surrendered just a dozen sacks. Unfortunately, the defense hasn't made a ton of big plays in coming up with only 11 takeaways, including just two fumbles. Still, the Sooners are allowing a mere 17.8 ppg behind typical outputs of 142.9 ypg rushing and 170.0 ypg passing. They've notched just 37 TFL, but 17 of them have been sacks.

Free Pick: The Sooner should take this one big. The Baylor Bears have put up some huge offensive numbers this year, but this will be the best defense they have faced this year. Baylor has faced just 2 good defenses on the year (TCU & Iowa State) and they have been held to just 21 points in each game. In contrast, Baylor has scored 41+ points in their other 6 games this year. The Sooners have the defense to slow them down in this one. Defensively is where the Bears struggle mightily, allowing 527.3 ypg and 39.1 ypg on the year. Last week Baylor held a very weak Kansas offense to just 14 points, but they had allowed 52.3 ppg in their other 4 Big 12 games this year. The Sooner offense has been a bit inconsistent this year, but they have plenty of weapons and they have averaged 487.6 ypg and 39.5 ppg on the year.  Oklahoma should be able to breakout with 50+ points in this one, while the Bears will be held to 21 points or less. This should be a blowout.
