College Football Betting Trends
Oklahoma
Oklahoma is 12-2 against the spread in its last 14 against winning teams and 12-3 ATS in its last 15 home games.
Army
Army is 4-1 against the spread in its last five against Big 12 opponents and 9-4-1 ATS in its last 14 games in September.
Prediction:
Army struggled with Duke, allowing 34 points to an average Blue Devil offense. Oklahoma should have no problem scoring points against the Golden Knights. The Sooners have far too much speed for Army to slow them down. The Knights probably won’t have a ton of success on offense either. Oklahoma has enough defensive capability to contain that run game.
