![]() The games in the Big 12 this season continue to be the most important in the nation and that is the case again this week at 8:00pm EST on ABC as the #5 Oklahoma Sooners (9-1) host the #2 Texas Tech Red Raiders (10-0) on Saturday. The Red Raiders can clinch the Big 12 South Division with a win but will have to do so against an Oklahoma team that is extremely talented. Odds makers have Oklahoma -7 point favorites at home in college football odds against Texas Tech. Texas Tech is led by quarterback Graham Harrell who is now the leading candidate for the Heisman Trophy. Harrell leads an offense that is third in the nation in scoring at 47.9 points per game. "The guy has a thorough understanding in everything they do to the point he can go blindfolded and point out every receiver on every route," Sooners coach Bob Stoops said about Harrell. "He has excellent feet in the pocket to keep himself alive on the play and throw on the run. When he has what he likes, he rarely is not going to be on the mark." Harrell gets to throw to the best receiver in college football in Michael Crabtree who is just 28 yards away from 3,000 in his career. Vegas odds at the Hilton sportsbook have the Sooners -7 point favorites in college football betting odds with a total of 76. There could be a ton of points scored in this game on Saturday.
