Central Arkansas vs Oklahoma Prediction

The Central Arkansas Bears obviously don’t have the talent to match up with the Sooners, and they could get blown out due to the inability to score. However, Central Arkansas covered against Arkansas and Georgia Tech, and has covered 5 of its last 8 games overall. This is a weird spot for Oklahoma after an emotional win over Michigan and seeing Alabama, and Texas A&M coming up. I’m assuming we’re going to see a massive number in favor of the Sooners. Give me Central Arkansas and the points.
