Chip's Guaranteed 'Top-Rated' Orange Bowl (OK/AL)
(NCAAF) Oklahoma vs. Alabama,
Point Spread: -14.00 | -109.00 Alabama (Home)
Result: Loss
Oklahoma vs Alabama 8:00 ET
Crimson Tide (-) over Sooners- To start with, my first impression of this opening price of two touchdowns was a huge overlay. Oklahoma after all has the Heisman Trophy winner in Kyler Murray and set scoring records by averaging 49.5 points per contest as they enter this fray on a 7-game win streak. The last time these two met in the 2013 Orange Bowl the Sooners were 17-point underdogs and won outright 45-31 although Alabama out-gained Oklahoma by nearly 100 yards. I believe the Nick Saban's game plan will be to punish Murray with hard hits as often as the can to wear him down while taking advantage of a porous defense that allows 32.4 points per game. While Alabama (47.9 pts) ranks second only to the Sooners in scoring offense they are fourth nationally in scoring defense surrendering just 14.8 per contest. Take ALABAMA!
