The Oklahoma Sooners' role as underdogs is over.

After being the underdogs in their last two outings, the Sooners opened as heavy favorites over the No. 23 Missouri Tigers at 11 a.m. CT Saturday in Norman, but back-to-back road upsets will influence that.

Opening odds favor Sooners big over Mizzou

The Sooners are favored by 9.5 points as of Monday, according to most major betting platforms, including BetMGM and DraftKings. FanDuel isn't as sure about the Sooners as other sportsbooks, but still has OU as an 8.5-point favorite.

This massive spread could continue to shrink by Saturday morning, though, based on an important injury concern for the 7-3 Tigers.
