What a Win for Oklahoma

This year has not gone according to play for Oklahoma this season but they are coming off quite the win. Oklahoma faced off against Alabama and they dominated the game winning 23-3. The defense was impressive and the final score would have been even wider if it wasn’t for a couple of turnovers in the first half. Most of Jackson Arnold’s success came on the ground and he finished with 25 carries for 131 yards. Oklahoma on the season is averaging 25 points while their defense is giving up 20.2 points per game. The offense is ranked 92nd in the league while the defense is ranked 23rd. If they want to win this game, Jackson Arnold is going to need to have a strong game. 

LSU Picked up a Key Win

LSU has not lived up to the expectations of their program this season but they still have a 7-4 record and are coming off a win in the last game. LSU scored 24 points against Vanderbilt and ended up winning by seven points. Garrett Nussmeier completed 28 of his 37 passes for 332 yards and a touchdown. The defense also found a way to keep Commodores quarterback Diego Pavia under pressure. LSU on the season is averaging 28.4 points while their defense is giving up 24.4 points per game. The offense is ranked 62nd in the league while the defense is ranked 66th. On the season Garrett Nussmeier is having a strong season and he has thrown for 3458 yards, 243 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. 

Why LSU Will Beat Oklahoma

• LSU has won 20 of its last 21 games against non-AP-ranked teams at Tiger Stadium.
• Oklahoma has lost four of its last five games against conference opponents.
• Oklahoma has failed to cover the spread in each of its last six November road games against non-AP-ranked teams.
• LSU has covered the spread in four of its last five November games as a home favorite against non-AP-ranked teams.

Oklahoma vs LSU Prediction

This is a major letdown spot for Oklahoma. Yes, they are coming off a win, but their offense just can’t be trusted. They are averaging only 25 points per game but I am not convinced that Arnold is the guy to lead this offense. LSU might not run up the score, but Oklahoma’s lack of scoring is going to be the difference here the Tigers are going to come out on top. Back LSU against the spread here.
