One of college football's longest standing rivalries is on tap for Saturday when the No. 3 Texas Longhorns (5-0) matchup with the No. 12 Oklahoma Sooners in the 119th playing of the Red River Showdown. Kickoff is at noon ET at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. Texas, led by quarterback Quinn Ewers and running back Jonathon Brooks, is coming off a dominant 40-14 win over Kansas. Oklahoma, led by quarterback Dillon Gabriel and a stifling defense, defeated Iowa State 50-20 in its last outing. Texas leads the all-time series 63-50-5.

The Longhorns are 5.5-point favorites in the latest Oklahoma vs. Texas odds via SportsLine consensus, while the over/under for total points scored is 60.5 (see up-to-date odds for every game this week on our college football odds page).

Before you make any Texas vs. Oklahoma picks or any other college football predictions, you NEED to see which side proven SportsLine expert Jimmie Kaylor is on. 

Kaylor is a NFL, college football, and DFS expert for SportsLine, who has covered the NFL and college football for close to a decade as a member of the Pro Football Writers of America. His background as a former college football All-American and NFL player gives him a unique perspective when building his fantasy lineups and locking in his betting picks. As a Colorado native, he has his finger on the pulse of the local and national sports scene and has been cashing big on Denver area teams for the last two years. 

Kaylor has been red-hot on his football picks for SportsLine in 2023, going 9-1 last week, bringing his season record to 18-3 on his best bets in 2023. Anyone who has followed his picks is WAY UP!

Kaylor knows that Texas is firing on all cylinders in year three under head coach Steve Sarkisian. They've notched two wins over ranked opponents in Alabama and Kansas, and sophomore quarterback Quinn Ewers has played himself into the Heisman Trophy conversation. The Longhorns have been equally impressive on the defensive side of he ball allowing an average of 290.8 total yards per game.

Kaylor, however, factored in that like Texas, Oklahoma is an experienced team with a championship caliber defense. The Sooners are giving up only 10.8 points per game, but have yet to face a team as talented as the Longhorns. Oklahoma is also led by a Heisman candidate at quarterback in Dillon Gabriel, who has 15 touchdown passes this season.

Now, Kaylor has locked in a confident against-the-spread pick for Oklahoma vs. Texas in the 2023 Red River Rivalry. We can tell you he's leaning Under on the point total, but he knows a crucial X-factor makes one side of the spread a MUST-BACK! You ABSOLUTELY need to see what it is before locking in any picks of your own.
