🔮 Alabama vs. Oklahoma prediction
Oklahoma ML (-112) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Rob Paul: "The last time these two played, Oklahoma mucked things up with its defense to win 23-21 ... and that was without its best defender. This time around, a Sooners defense that ranks top 10 in PPG (13.9), yards (273.6), and SP+ (No. 3) will have its best player back."

🔥 Alabama vs. Oklahoma player prop pick
John Mateer Over 1.5 passing TDs (+190) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Paul: "It might seem crazy, but I can't help myself from backing John Mateer to go Over 1.5 passing TDs, especially at this price. The Sooners' QB has struggled since mid-season thumb surgery; however, he's thrown two TD passes in back-to-back games against defenses ranked top 15 by SP+."

🙌 Alabama vs. Oklahoma anytime touchdown scorer pick
John Mateer to score anytime TD (+142) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
