OUR PICK: There’s always a possibility that the Sooners could suffer a hangover from their lost to Houston last week but the more-likely scenario is that Bob Stoops’ team is locked in tonight. The over is 8-1 in the Sooners’ last nine games following a straight-up loss and is 20-7 in their last 27 games coming off an ATS loss. Smith makes the Warhawks somewhat dangerous on offense and UL-Monroe should contribute enough points to help push the total over.
