As Texas and Oklahoma fans have always said, it just means more in the SEC. Oh wait, this is the first SEC matchup? Wow, Sooners and Longhorns fans quickly learned that S-E-C chant.

The one thing that hasn’t changed is this rivalry game takes place at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas during the Texas State Fair. Feel free to celebrate this game by eating a lot of fried food just like you were in Big D. Personally, I just bought a whole pie at the earliest point of the fall calendar in my life.

We all make choices. As for the game, the Arch Manning hive will have to take a backseat as Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers returns to the field.

Here’s a look at my NCAA football prop betting breakdown of the inaugural SEC matchup between Oklahoma and Texas.

4 TD Prop Bets to Make in Oklahoma vs Texas

1. Sooners QB Michael Hawkins (+240) Finds the End Zone

All eyes are on Oklahoma quarterback Michael Hawkins, who replaced former highly touted Jackson Arnold. The Sooners may end up losing this rivalry matchup, but Oklahoma is going to go down on the legs of Hawkins.

The playmaking quarterback has 26 carries over the last two games. Hawkins found the end zone last week and I think this streak continues. Whether your preference is horns up or horns down, there’s great value in snagging Hawkins to score a touchdown at BetUS Sportsbook with a +240 return.

 

2. Texas TE Gunnar Helm (+250) Could Have Big Game

There’s a decent bit of mystery about how the Texas offense will look with Ewers back under center. Heading into this rivalry game, Texas only had one other marquee game – against Michigan.

Ewers leaned heavily on tight end Gunnar Helm, who posted seven receptions for 98 yards and a touchdown. This feels like another big spot for Helm. Bet online for Helm to score a touchdown at +250.

 

3. Oklahoma RB Jovantae Barnes (+150) to Score

The thing about the emergence of Hawkins is that it opens things up for the team’s running backs. Jovantae Barnes is finding his stride for the Sooners.

Oklahoma relied heavily on Barnes in the squad’s win versus Auburn. Snag Barnes to score a touchdown versus the Longhorns.

 

4. Texas WR Isaiah Bond (+129) Is a Safe TD Bet

Texas has plenty of weapons, but I think a strong argument can be made that Bond is the team’s top receiver. Bond is leading Texas with 20 receptions and tied for the receiver with the most touchdowns at three.

Binge some James Bond movies before the Red River Shootout, then make sure to take the Texas receiver to snag a TD at +129 in the NCAAF predictions.
