Baylor (4-1, 7-1) visits Oklahoma (3-2, 6-2) in a battle of teams alive in the Big 12 title chase. The Bears, an underdog for the first time this season, will try to pin consecutive home losses on the Sooners. That's a tall order.
Prediction: Oklahoma 41, Baylor 35
Oklahoma win probability: 66 percent
Oklahoma cover probability: 52 percent

The Mountaineers (6-3, 4-2), off a stinging home lost to TCU, face a Texas team aiming for six wins and a bowl bid. Texas (4-5, 3-3) will stay close, but the Longhorns' lack of offensive firepower won't allow them to outpace WVU in this one.
Prediction: West Virginia 27, Texas 21
West Virginia win probability: 63 percent
West Virginia cover probability: 54 percent

Iowa State (-3.5) at Kansas
