UTEP vs Oklahoma Picks & Props
UTEP vs OKLA Picks
NCAAF PicksOklahoma to cover the first-half spread is one of my favorite bets on the Week 1 slate, and I expect the Sooners to come out firing. John Mateer returns fully healthy after an injury held him back last season, giving Oklahoma a quarterback who was making a legitimate Heisman Trophy case before the injury affected his play.
On the other side, Brent Venables has another loaded defense, led by an extremely talented secondary and one of the SEC’s best edge rushers in Taylor Wein.
I expect the Sooners to control this game from the start and cover the first-half spread.
Oklahoma enters the season as a massive favorite against UTEP, and I’m expecting the Sooners to build a big halftime lead before taking their foot off the gas in the second half. That game script makes both the alt-line under 57.5 and UTEP team total under 7.5 appealing options. The 7.5 team total provides a safety cushion in case the Miners break off a big play, but Oklahoma’s loaded defense should keep UTEP’s scoring to a minimum. With the Sooners traveling to Ann Arbor to face Michigan next, don’t expect Oklahoma to show its entire playbook right out of the gate.
