Odds to Win the 2016 Big 12 Football Championship – Big 12 Football Predictions & Expert Picks

1. Oklahoma Sooners(-128 odds to win Big 12) – Bob Stoops enters his 18th season as the head coach of the Oklahoma Sooners football program and looks to have a legit National Championship contender and favorite to win the Big 12 Championship this year. The Sooners welcome back 12 returning starters with 6 on both sides of the ball. The Sooners had a great season last year finishing 11-2 overall and capturing the Big 12 Championship before getting outclassed in a 37-17 loss to Clemson in the College Football Playoff semifinals.

The Sooners offense should once again be amongst the most explosive units in College Football this season as it welcomes back quarterback Baker Mayfield for his senior season. Mayfield threw for 3700 yeards and 36 touchdowns last year to go along with 405 yards rushing and 6 touchdown gallops. Mayfield and the Sooners offense averaged 43.5 points per game last year which was 3rd in the Big 12 but 4th nationally. Mayfield will have the luxury of handing the ball off again to junior running back Samaje Perine who rushed for 1349 yards and 16 touchdowns last season helping to give the Sooners one of the most balanced offenses in the country.

Defensively, look for the Sooners to be better than last season’s 39th overall unit. The Sooners defense was solid but not great last year but has a chance to move up into one of the nation’s top 20 defenses this season with the return of 3 starters in a solid secondary. The Sooners were 34th against the pass last year but with the return of starting junior cornerback Jordan Thomas, starting junior strong safety Steven Parker and starting senior free safety Ahmad Thomas we look for the Sooners to be even better this year. 2016 Projection 11-1, 8-1 Big 12
