10. OK State at Texas: Analyst Pick & Preview
If last year's matchup between these two sides was any indication, we should expect another high-scoring performance when Oklahoma State and Texas match up this Saturday in Austin, TX. With so many teams in the Big 12 currently holding a 2-1 conference record currently, this matchup could have a big impact in how the conference ultimately plays out.
The Sooners are 5-2 straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) in their last seven matchups with the Longhorns.

What to Watch For
Texas freshman QB Sam Ehlinger has been quite the dual threat this season -- showing a ton of potential in the Longhorns' big comeback against Texas. They weren't able to get the win, but Ehlinger throwing for 278 yards (1 TD) and running for 106 more yards showed just what kind of a weapon he can be.
Ehlinger is projected to finish Saturday's game with 227 passing yards, 29 rushing yards, 1 TD, and 1 INT.
Oklahoma State QB Mason Rudolph is leading the way for an offense averaging close to 49 points per game. He's connecting on two-thirds of his passes, and has thrown just four INTs compared to 19 TDs.
Rudolph is projected to finish Saturday's matchup with 322 passing yards, 3 TDs and 1 INT.
Rudolph has been ridiculously efficient throwing to WR James Washington, who's averaging just a shade under 26 yards per catch.
Washington is projected to finish with an average of 17 yards per catch on Saturday.
