Super Bowl weekend has begun and while the streets of Miami will be a buzz with parties and tailgaters, the Texas Longhorns and the Oklahoma Sooners will both be gunning for a victory on Saturday afternoon at 4:00pm EST when they meet at Lloyd Noble Center in a game that can be seen on ESPN. College basketball betting odds have the Longhorns listed as 6.5-point favorites against the Sooners with a total of 149 at online sportsbooks while Super Bowl picks currently favor the Colts - 6 against the Saints. Jordan Hamilton dropped a career high 27-points to lead Texas past Oklahoma State 72-60 on Monday night. Hamilton shot 11-16 from the floor and made 5-8 3-pointers to help Texas cover the 3-point road-spread in college basketball betting odds while the game played UNDER the 152-point total posted at online sportsbooks. "Jordan is really learning how to play now," Texas head coach Rick Barnes said after the game. "Because he's so competitive, if he misses a shot, he wants to get it and go try to make up for it. He's got a scorer's mentality." Oklahoma was toppled 63-46 by Nebraska on Saturday as a 6-point underdogs at online sportsbooks. The teams played UNDER the posted total of 132.5. Cade Davis had 13 points in a losing effort while Tommy Mason-Griffin was held to only 9-points.

Texas is 7-1 against the spread in their last 8 games when playing against Oklahoma while the Sooners are 11-5 straight up in their last 16 games playing at home against the Longhorns.
