OU is a touchdown underdog when it hosts Tennessee on Saturday. Here's a look at The Oklahoman's staff predictions:

Josh Heupel staying at OU as a Sooner lifer is downright believable compared to the fantasy that unfolded. Getting canned was a blessing in disguise.

This will be the first time that Heupel and Venables, who spent plenty of time together at Oklahoma, have faced off on opposing sidelines as head coaches

NORMAN — Paul Finebaum, a Tennessee alum and SEC Network host, feels Saturday's game will be much closer than Las Vegas or pundits think. The attention of the college football world will be turned to Norman as No. 13 OU hosts No. 7 Tennessee at 6:30 p.m. inside Gaylord Family - Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.
