College Football Free Pick: Take the Sooners. Texas may have the 14th ranked defense in the country but the best offense the Longhorns have faced all season was UCLA’s 63rd ranked unit. Landry Jones and the powerful Oklahoma offense has too many weapons for the Longhorns to keep pace in this one, even though the lead could change hands a couple of times in the first half. According to latest college football trends, Texas is 0-5-1 against the spread in its last six neutral site games and 1-4 ATS in its last five games as an underdog.
