CFB Odds See Sooners Getting Action at the Sports Books

July 30, 2010 · By writer

Oklahoma is 1 team that is gaining some action on the odds board in college football betting at the sports books.

The Sooners probabilities to win the national championship have fallen to 7-1. Only 2 squads at the sports books have lower probabilities. Ohio State is 6-1 while defending champ Alabama is 4-1.



Sportsbook college sports betting odds will likely prefer Oklahoma in every match they play this season. Their most difficult test seems to be the game vs Texas. The Sooners have a advantageous schedule despite the fact that they are not going to be the greatest rated team in the nation to start the season. Oklahoma didn’t have a season up to their expectations last year. They did not make a BCS bowl match and they went 8-5. It was only the 3rd time that Oklahoma didn’t make a BCS bowl match in the last 10 years.

Oklahoma is typically a national power under head coach Bob Stoops so it was a surprise to see them fall last season. It ought to be noted though that the Sooners lost quarterback Sam Bradford to injury early in the season. That injured them last season but it may help them this year since Landry Jones has experience. Jones threw for 3,198 yards and 26 touchdowns last season. Running back DeMarco Murray will also be returning to the Sooners. Not to be forgotten is wide receiver Ryan Broyles, who caught 89 passes for 1,120 yards and 15 touchdowns last year.

In 2010, the Sooners return linebacker Travis Lewis, who led the team in tackles, defensive end Jeremy Beal who led the team in sacks and safety Quinton Carter, who tied for the team lead in interceptions. They always seem to be excellent on defense. The Sooners also have a great recruiting class arriving that ought to provide support.

Oklahoma was just 24th in the nation in total yards last season and although that does not sound too poor, it is not excellent enough for the Sooners. The defense was sound at 8th best in the nation in total yards allowed. That number would have been excellent enough if the offense was in the top 10 nevertheless they were not. Since Jones has another year of expertise, they’re likely to be better this season.

The Sooners are deemed national title contenders considering of their expertise but also considering of their schedule. Their most difficult game will be vs Texas. It is not simple winning at Missouri or Oklahoma State but the Sooners ought to be liked in both of those competitions too.
