Oklahoma
Moneyline Pick - Oklahoma (-222): Grade B-

Oklahoma’s defense and home-field dominance make this matchup lean decisively toward the Sooners. Their relentless pass rush has dictated tempo all season, and Stutsman’s sideline-to-sideline range helps neutralize explosive plays before they develop. Ole Miss enters in capable shape offensively, but recent off-field noise and a tougher defensive opponent threaten to derail rhythm early. The Sooners’ ability to win up front—particularly against an Ole Miss line that’s shown cracks against speed rushers—sets the stage for controlled possessions and field-position advantage.

From a betting standpoint, the Oklahoma moneyline offers the steadier path given the matchup fundamentals. The Sooners’ defensive consistency, balanced offense, and elite home record combine for a high-probability outcome even if Ole Miss strikes early. With weather conditions mild and their defensive front poised to pressure throughout, Oklahoma’s structure and discipline make the chalk worth swallowing.

Over/Under Pick - Under 54.5 (-132): Grade B

This matchup lines up neatly for a lower-scoring result built on trench dominance and defensive discipline. Oklahoma’s front seven has been among the nation’s most disruptive, collapsing pockets and forcing opponents into inefficient, long-yardage situations. That pressure rate pairs well against an Ole Miss line that’s struggled to keep its quarterback clean, especially on the road. The Rebels’ offense thrives on rhythm and chunk plays, but a slick field and early kickoff should limit tempo and explosive routes. Meanwhile, Oklahoma’s own attack often shifts conservative when protecting leads, preferring to grind clock through a balanced run-pass approach.

From a betting perspective, the Under 54.5 is supported by both matchup data and situational trends. Each defense enters healthy and opportunistic, and the weather adds another layer of control to pace. Expect sustained drives punctuated by field goals rather than fireworks, producing a total that lands well under the posted number. It’s a sharp, conditions-backed play with strong probability of staying low.

Spread Pick - Oklahoma, -5 (-120): Grade B+

Oklahoma’s combination of efficient quarterback play and defensive disruption makes this spread a strong position. Mateer’s poise within the offense has balanced quick-strike ability with mistake-free execution, and his command at the line consistently punishes overaggressive fronts. Against an Ole Miss secondary recently exposed by Georgia, Oklahoma’s passing efficiency should find seams early, while the run game softens the box. On the other side, the Sooners’ front continues to dictate outcomes—its pressure packages have crippled opposing offenses on third down, and that strength directly counters a Rebels team that tends to bog down outside of tempo.

From a betting standpoint, the -5 number is justified and carries value given the matchup dynamics. Oklahoma’s situational consistency, home-field edge, and top-tier defensive metrics combine for a probability gap wider than the spread implies. Unless Ole Miss can sustain balance through its backup backs—a tall task in Norman—the Sooners are well-positioned to separate late and cover comfortably.
