Tennessee at Oklahoma picks and predictions
Prediction
Tennessee 31, Oklahoma 27
Moneyline
PASS.
There’s not much value here.
The Sooners as a home underdog is playable, but considering how well Tennessee has played, the better option is to take Oklahoma on the spread.
Against the spread
BET OKLAHOMA +6.5 (-105).
The Sooners have one of the best defenses in the nation and force turnovers at a high rate, and while the Volunteers have dominated, they have turned the ball over several times throughout their 3 beatdowns. Oklahoma has allowed just over 11 points per game.
It will have its work cut out for it, but it has a strong defense and will get help from a rowdy home crowd. While Tennessee has impressed, it really hasn’t played anyone as even NC State has struggled against weak opponents this season. The Vols look elite, but they haven’t proven themselves.
On the road against a top-15 side, expect things to stay close. Take OKLAHOMA +6.5 (-105).
Over/Under
BET OVER 57.5 (-110).
The Sooners have scored 34 or more in 2 games. They have a capable offense and should be able to move the ball. Oklahoma is 1-2 O/U, mainly due to its top-notch defense.
The Vols have scored 50 or more in each game and have gone Over in each. Tennessee has a dynamic, big-play offense and an elite run game. It should be able to continue to score. While it might be at the same level as in previous weeks, expect it to get on the board often.
Take OVER 57.5 (-110).
