Oklahoma at Texas (-5.5)

After playing a variety of instate games, the Texas Longhorns (4-1) host the Sooners in the Red River shootout this weekend. Freshman Colt McCoy (10 td, 2 int) will be slinging the ball for the Longhorns while Paul Thompson (8 td, 3 int) will be starting as Oklahoma's quarterback. Looking at this game statistically, I see the quarterbacks as being equal. The receivers are just as close when looking at Longhorns Sweed/Cosby versus Sooners Kelly/Iglesias. The running game slightly favors Oklahoma employee Adrian Peterson, who will be playing against the nation's #2 ranked rush defense.

Like the Carolina/Wofford game, this matchup is too close to call.. but since it doesn't cost anything I'll just say the defending champs will be playing loose in Dallas and cover the spread.
