Who do you believe? ESPN's analytics thinks Oklahoma will win, Vegas favors Texas in Red River Rivalry

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:40:22 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) — In 2013, ESPN wanted to develop a handicapping system similar to the one bookmakers in Las Vegas use to determine spreads and predict how games will go. The Worldwide Leader came up with the Football Power Index, and as far as the Red River Rivalry is concerned, ESPN and Vegas do not agree on who will win.ESPN's FPI gives the Sooners a 54.5% chance of beating Texas, and that's based on ESPN's number crunch of previous scoring data from all teams in FBS. In an explainer of its math equation, ESPN said if Vegas ever published its system, the Vegas data "would likely look quite a lot like FPI." Some key stats that could help decide the 119th edition of the Red River Rivalry As of Friday night, most sportsbooks have the Longhorns as 5.5-point favorites while some have Texas favored by 5 points.ESPN's FPI ratingsTexasOklahomaOffensive efficiency8188.9Defensive efficiency90.685.3Special teams efficiency28.858.2Strength of record (rank)14Overall FPI24.225.8ESPN's Football...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:40:22 GMT

Given the opportunities that slipped through their grasp in the first half Friday night, Woodbury senior Isaiah Tisdle and his teammates could have let their frustration take them out of the game.Instead, Tisdle said the opposite occurred, and the increased focus proved the difference as the Royals scored a pair of second-half touchdowns, then held on to beat Forest Lake 17-14 at Forest Lake High School.“The biggest difference was the intensity and physicality,” said Tisdle, who scored on a 5-yard touchdown run with 2:24 to play as his team improved to 4-2. “We came out in the second half ready to hit. We knew this game was really important for us in the seedings, and we came out and did what we needed to do.”It was the Rangers (3-3) who struck first when senior Mark Rendl caught a 13-yard touchdown pass from classmate Cole Gerrell on their team’s first possession to jump in front 7-0. But Woodbury cut the gap to four when – after recovering a fumbled punt at the Forest Lake 27 – se...
