💰 Oklahoma vs. Michigan best touchdown bet

John Mateer is an excellent candidate to score a rushing touchdown against Michigan on Saturday. The Oklahoma quarterback already showed how dangerous he can be with his legs in last year’s matchup, rushing 19 times for 74 yards and two touchdowns in a 24-13 victory over the Wolverines.

Mateer also has a proven track record as a runner, rushing for 826 yards and 15 touchdowns at Washington State in 2024 before adding eight rushing scores for Oklahoma in 2025. Michigan’s defense will have to account for Mateer on every read-option and designed quarterback run, creating opportunities near the goal line. With his rushing ability and history against this defense, Mateer has strong touchdown upside Saturday.
