DALLAS – The best bets for the Oklahoma vs Texas game this weekend can be combined in a parlay at Bovada for +775 odds. This betting preview outlines why those bets are strong options. They can be parlayed together or individually at the legal betting site.

Oklahoma vs Texas Parlay

  • Quinn Ewers Over 259.5 Passing Yards -114
  • Isaiah Bond Over 64.5 Receiving Yards -125
  • Matthew Golden Over 37.5 Receiving Yards -114
  • Michael Hawkins Over 34.5 Rushing Yards -114
  • Parlay Odds: +775

Best Quinn Ewers Prop vs Oklahoma

In his third appearance in the Red River Rivalry, Quinn Ewers is poised to go over the 259.5 passing yards prop at college football betting sites. The star quarterback is a strong bet to do so based on his previous performances versus Oklahoma.

He passed for 289 yards in 2022 (49-0 Texas win) and 346 Yards in 2023 (34-30 Oklahoma win). Those numbers show that in this rivalry, Ewers will go over 259.5 yards regardless of the game script.

Betting on Quinn Ewers to clear 259.5 passing yards is also simply a strong bet in general. Excluding his last game against UTSA when he was hurt in the first half, Ewers has now thrown for over 259.5 passing yards 11 times in his last 15 games.

Betting on Texas Receivers vs Oklahoma

If you’re betting on a quarterback to go over his passing yards prop, it makes sense to parlay some of his pass catchers to go over their receiving yards prop as well. That is part of the mindset as to why the over for Isaiah Bond and Matthew Golden are also strong bets.

  • Pro Tip: Keep in mind that some legal sports betting sites may limit what props you can parlay together if they let you parlay props at all. This is why we suggest Bovada for this bet.

The reasons to bet on both receivers to go over their receiving yards props at Bovada are:

  • Bond has at least 74 receiving yards in his last three games. He has been over 50 yards in all five games this season, but may be growing into an even bigger role as he gets more acclimated to the offense following his offseason transfer to Texas.
  • Golden has gone over 37.5 yards in four of five games this season. The only game he didn’t, was the UTSA game that Ewers was hurt in. Sportsbooks may be underrating his connection to Ewers.
  • With Quinn Ewers at quarterback, a combined five Texas pass catchers have gone for over 64.5 receiving yards in their last two games versus Oklahoma. This bodes well for the idea that Ewers can pass for enough yards against Oklahoma for multiple receivers to go over their prop line.

Best Michael Hawkins Prop vs Texas

There is a very limited sample size to use when writing this Texas vs Oklahoma betting preview regarding OU quarterback Michael Hawkins as he has only started one game for the school.

But, that one game Hawkins started did show that he is a capable and willing runner. He ran the ball 14 times versus Auburn for a total of 69 yards.

His rushing yards betting line is exactly half of his yards from last week (34.5), which is why it is the best bet for Oklahoma against Texas on Saturday.
