Oklahoma vs Alabama Prediction
The current betting odds have Oklahoma listed as a 6 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Oklahoma has looked really good in their games this season with their 7-2 record overall and their 3-2 conference record which has them higher in the SEC. They have been a great road team this year too with their 3-0 road record. Meanwhile, Alabama has looked great in their games this season with their 8-1 record overall and their 6-1 conference record which has them right near the top of the SEC. They have also looked great on their home field with their 5-0 home record. Alabama has had an interesting season, starting the year with a loss to Florida State who has been terrible for most of the year, and now they have won 8 games in a row. They look like one of the teams to beat in the SEC this year, but lately they haven't looked as good. They are off a 20-9 win at home over LSU in their last one, a week after struggling to beat South Carolina in a game where they needed a comeback win, and they haven't really been blowing teams out all year either. Oklahoma really saved their season in their last one with a big road win over Tennessee and now they are playing with their season on the line here since a 3rd loss will likely keep them out of the CFP. They are coming out of their bye week with extra time to prepare so they are going to bring their best effort in this road game, and they still have one of the best defenses in the SEC to lean on. Even if Oklahoma loses this game, they have the defense to keep this a close one with Alabama not really running any of their opponents out of the building in their games. The best way to place a bet here is on Oklahoma to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes
“Our guys matched (Tennessee's) physicality, and then some. The pile constantly went in our direction. All those piles that fall forward add up to a lot.” - Brent Venables after his team’s win against Tennessee in their last game.
“I feel like the defense has been pretty solid. There’s less of the explosive plays and guys are fitting their gaps. We missed a few opportunities with the ball on the ground or in the air. I like the way the defense is playing and they’ll go back to work tomorrow.” - Kalen DeBoer after his team’s win against LSU in their last game.
