College football prices tend to vary more between books than NFL prices. Our line shopping guide shows how to compare them, and the vig guide explains why books differ.

What makes Texas vs Oklahoma different to bet

  • Key numbers matter less. In 549 college football games OddsBay recorded, 3 was the most common margin (9.5%) and 7 the second (7.1%), but 40% of games were decided by 21 or more. Half points around 3 and 7 still count, just less than in the NFL. See our college football key numbers guide.
  • Home field is already in the price. Home teams won 63.5% of 543 college football games we recorded but covered the spread only 50.7% of the time. Our guide to home-field advantage explains why.
  • Rankings are not prices. Favorites won 76.9% of 545 games we recorded but covered only 46.7%. See rankings vs betting markets and our guide to rivalry games.
  • A neutral site. The game is played in Dallas, with the stadium split between both fan bases, so neither team gets the usual home-field edge. Our rivalry games guide looks at this matchup in more detail.

What to check before the next meeting

  1. Quarterbacks and injuries. Confirm who is starting and which key players are out.
  2. Weather. For outdoor games, check the wind forecast for game day.
  3. Where the line sits. Note what each half point costs.
  4. Prices across books. Compare the moneyline, spread and total on the odds comparison before betting.
  5. Your bet against the close. After the game, compare the price you took with the closing line. Our guide to the closing line explains why.
