College Football Betting Trends
Army
Army is 5-1 with the under in its last six games in September and 9-3 with the under in its last 12 games on grass.
Oklahoma
Oklahoma has hit the over in its last four non-conference games and in five straight games on grass.
Prediction:
Oklahoma has been putting up big numbers on offense behind Murray and I think the Sooners will continue to roll on offense against Army. The Knights have a chance to put up some points behind their running game, but the speed differential will make it tough to keep up with the Sooners. Still, Oklahoma should score enough to help these two hit the over.
