Baylor

 After a Covid related postponement, the Sooners will take on the Baylor Bears today at home. After having a very solid season last year under Matt Rhule, the Bears have taken a pretty big step back after his departure to the NFL. The Bears sit at just 2-5,  with OU getting an extra week of rest, things could shape up nicely for the Sooners this week. Coaches were evidently in short supply as Bob Stoops was back helping Riley in practice. There was even talk of him being on the sideline, but I think that has been nixed with enough coaches getting healthy/out of quarantine in time for the game. Let's hope Bob brings a little good gris-gris back to the Sooner sideline this week and the Sooners look strong. 

Offense

Since returning from his suspension, Rhamondre Stevenson has been an absolute beast. Picking up chunks on nearly every run and punishing defenders as well. He's definitely got the big rig truck horn on speed dial. So, picking him would be the smart play and will likely play out as a prudent choice, but I'm of course going to try and make a "savvy" (read: wildly inaccurate) pick. I'm going with the ever emerging Marvin Mims today. Now I can only assume he is out with Covid or for some other reason.

Defense

I'm not about to break precedent after the OSU game. Nobody gets the call here.

Score

Baylor's record is bad. OU has been slowly, but steadily improving since their abysmal start. The current spread is OU by 22. I, for no good reason, think Baylor is going to keep this a little closer than that. I like OU to win today 36-21.
