The 11th ranked Oklahoma Sooners will take aim at their second conference win of the season when they welcome TCU to Oklahoma Memorial Stadium tomorrow evening. The two Big 12 rivals are scheduled to take the field at 7:00pm ET; the conference clash will be broadcast live on FOX. NCAA Football Odds at offshore bookmaker 5Dimes have the Sooners listed as a -10 against the spread home favorites and the Over/Under set at 46.5 points. Oklahoma and TCU are drawing -390 and +320 money line odds, respectively.
Oklahoma's throwback season (i.e. strong ground game and a tough defense) continued last weekend as Bob Stoops squad went into South Bend and scored a 35-21 win over Notre Dame.
The Sooners, who leveled Louisiana-Monroe, West Virginia, and Tulsa prior to their run in with the Golden Domers, finished the game with 25 first downs and 450 total yards.
Oklahoma was incredibly balanced on offense, passing for 238 yards while rushing for 212 thanks to the efforts of quarterback Blake Bell. Bell completed 22-of-30 passes for 232 yards and two touchdowns and he also rushed for 59 yards on 12 carries.
Unfortunately for TCU, its season has not mirrored that of its Big 12 counterpart. The Horned Frogs are off to an unexpected 2-2 start after suffering losses to LSU and Texas Tech.
TCU was expected to lose to the Tigers, but it went into the Red Raiders game a three point road favorite. The Frogs out-gained Tech 401 yards to 336 and they even finished +1 in turnover margin, but they still managed to lose 20-10.
TCU's inconsistent play this season and the result of its 2012 meeting with Oklahoma point to tomorrow game being a rough one for Gary Patterson's troops. While the Sooners have shown a tendency to come out flat in a game or two the past couple of seasons, this year's squad appear to be different.
Quite simply, if Oklahoma can avoid turning the ball over like it did in the West Virginia game, it should easily cover the spread tomorrow.

TCU Horned Frogs +10 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110), +320 (Moneyline)
