Oklahoma vs Temple Prediction

In their only previous meeting last season, Oklahoma home 51-3 at home, covering the -42.5-point spread, as the game went under the 57.5-point total.

In this Oklahoma vs Temple Prediction, Oklahoma is coming in as -24.5-point road favorites, with the total set at 51.5 points. Both teams have been undefeated this season, but Oklahoma is 1-1 against the spread, while Temple has covered the spread in both. Last season, the Sooner were terrible on the road, with a 1-4 road record, and both teams were 6-6 against the spread. Oklahoma is favorited for a reason, and they destroyed Temple last season, but given both teams’ current form, I like the hosts to keep this one closer than 24.5 points.
