Coming off a close win over Houston at home, Oklahoma welcomes Group of Five challenger and potential playoff hopeful Tulane this weekend before embarking on a tough SEC schedule.

Oklahoma was held to two second-half points and was outgained in total yards by the Cougars while leading by just two points in the fourth quarter until a safety with under two minutes left.

Tulane nearly took down a ranked Kansas State at home last week, appearing to score a tying touchdown with 17 seconds left but the play was wiped out by penalty.

Oklahoma makes its SEC debut the week after this game by hosting what looks like a very dangerous Tennessee team before going on the road to Auburn and then playing Texas after that.

Let's take a look at the early game odds and predictions as Oklahoma hosts Tulane this week.
