Oklahoma vs Alabama Prediction
The Oklahoma Sooners need one more win to become bowl-eligible, and they haven’t been a double-digit favorite at home since 1997. Some of you weren’t even born the last time they were this big of a home dog. It makes the points worth a look. The problem is, the Sooners just don’t have the offensive horses to compete against the big boys, and it feels like the Tide are hitting their stride. Alabama is 3-0 SU and 3-0 ATS in its last 3 games, and has allowed a combined 20 points in those games. Uh, good luck Sooners. I’ll lay the touchdowns.
