Big 12 Championship Betting - Missouri at Oklahoma Odds

The Oklahoma Sooners (11-1) will try and dispatch of the Missouri Tigers (9-3) on Saturday at 8:00pm EST on ABC and move into the BCS Championship game. The Sooners are playing in the Big 12 title game, despite losing to Texas in the regular season but made it to the game because the Big 12’s fifth tiebreaker gave the Sooners the nod since they are ranked higher than Texas in the latest BCS standings. Oklahoma will try and avoid what happened to Missouri in last year’s Big 12 championship game when the Tigers lost to Oklahoma, costing them a spot in the BCS Championship.

Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford will be playing with an injury to his non-throwing hand and will have surgery after Saturday's game. "We should be able to do everything as normal," Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said. "We've had time to plan for it now and to get a brace or some kind of soft cast to protect it." Odds makers have Oklahoma -16.5 point favorites at home in college football odds against Missouri with a college football betting total of 78.5. Last year Bradford threw two touchdown passes in the win against Missouri. The Sooners have owned the Tigers in this series, winning 18 of the last 19 meetings. Missouri is not going into the game without a chance though. Quarterback Chase Daniel leads a potent offense.

"This is where we wanted to be, and it's finally here," Daniel said. "There's 10 other teams that would die to be in our spot. We deserve to be here, we won the North (Division), and we're excited about the chance to play." Daniel has 34 touchdown passes this season. The problem for Missouri will be stopping Bradford and the Oklahoma offense. Bradford has thrown 46 touchdown passes this season to lead the nation. He has thrown for over 300 yards in each of the last four games. Oklahoma is averaging 53.3 points per game, #1 in the country. Missouri should be able to score though against an Oklahoma defense that has allowed at least 21 points in seven straight games. The Sooners defense though is far better than Missouri’s and that is why Oklahoma is a big favorite in this game. Missouri is last in the Big 12 against the pass and 116th out of 119 teams in the country. Vegas odds at the MGM sportsbook have the Sooners -17 point favorites in college football betting odds with a betting total of 79.
