2022 NFL Draft Prospects to Watch: Oklahoma vs. Baylor

Two of the Big 12’s top three teams square off in a conference showdown featuring a bevy of 2022 NFL Draft prospects in Waco.

#8 Oklahoma at #13 Baylor 12 PM ET FOX

Consider Oklahoma on upset alert this Saturday at McLane Stadium. The Sooners are 5.5-point favorites on the road this weekend, but they’ll have their work cut out for them if they want to remain unbeaten. Despite an atrocious loss last week to TCU, Baylor is still very much alive for a chance to play in the Big 12 Championship Game. They’d need to win Saturday, win out, and then have Oklahoma lose another conference game. It isn’t likely. But Oklahoma finishing the season unbeaten seems unlikely too. What is likely on Saturday is points being scored.

The over/under is set at a hefty 63, and Oklahoma and Baylor are the 5th and 18th best scoring offenses in the country, respectively. The Sooners are putting up 42.9 points per game while the Bears are lighting up scoreboards at a 36.3-point-per-game clip. Oklahoma might score more points than Baylor on average, but the Bears have the third leading passer in the Big 12 (Gerry Bohanon), the third leading rusher in the conference (Abram Smith), and the Big 12’s leading receiver in terms of yardage (Tyquan Thornton).

If Baylor’s offensive line can hold up against this underrated Oklahoma front seven, the Bears might have a legitimate shot at pulling an upset here. It’s worth mentioning that Baylor hasn’t beaten Oklahoma since 2014, and Oklahoma leads the all-time series 28-3. With all of that in mind, let’s take a look at some 2022 NFL Draft prospects that will all be on the field when Baylor has the ball and the Sooners sit on defense.
