Point Spread Released for Texas vs. Oklahoma in 2025 Red River Rivalry

Point Spread Released for Texas vs. Oklahoma in 2025 Red River Rivalry originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

The Texas Longhorns are expected to start the 2025 college football season ranked one of the top three teams in the nation, therefore Steve Sarkisian's squad should enter the majority of their matchups as the betting favorite.

The two games on the schedule that the Longhorns likely won't be considered the favorite to win are Week 1 at Ohio State and Week 12 at Georgia. Every other game on the schedule looks favorable for Texas.

According to FanDuel's early betting lines, the Longhorns are a double-digit favorite over the Oklahoma Sooners this year. FanDuel currently views Texas as the 10.5-point favorite over Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry on Oct. 11.

The Longhorns defeated the Sooners 34-3 last year at the Cotton Bowl. However, the previous year Oklahoma handed Texas a surprising 34-30 loss when the Longhorns were ranked No. 3 in the country. That ended up being the only regular season loss that Texas suffered in 2023.

For the fifth consecutive year, Oklahoma will field a new quarterback behind center. Michael Hawkins Jr., Dillon Gabriel, Davis Beville, and Caleb Williams started against Texas the last four years. Transfer quarterback John Mateer is in line to start for the Sooners this season.

Although these two programs seem to be trending in opposite directions, anything can happen in a rivalry matchup of this nature.

Kickoff is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. CT on Oct. 11.
