Texas topped Mississippi State 35-13 in the SEC opener Sept. 28, and then it had the week off. That’s probably good as 5 teams ranked in the Top 10 suffered outright losses in a topsy-turvy week. The Texas defense has allowed 13 or fewer points in all 5 games, good for an average of just 7.0 PPG (7th-best in the nation).
The Longhorns failed to cover as 37-point favorites against the Bulldogs, halting a 4-0 against the spread (ATS) streak to open the season. The Under (59) cashed, ending a 3-0 run to the Over, too.
Oklahoma scored a 27-21 comeback win at Auburn Sept. 28, leveling its record at 1-1 inside the SEC after falling to Tennessee Sept. 21 at home. The Sooners have alternated covers and non-covers in each of its past 5 games, covering at Auburn last time out as a 2-point underdog. The Under is 3-2.
