Houston vs. Oklahoma CBB Prediction:
Houston looks to win their seventh straight game, while Oklahoma looks to get back in the win column.
Take the Sooners. This feels like too many to points to pass up at home. The Sooners are 13-3 in Norman this season and have been much better offensively in their home building. OU will get a big home crowd with #1 Houston visiting and I think go punch for punch with the Cougars on Saturday.
