Oklahoma has lost four of its last five games, including a 30-23 setback at then-No. 24 Missouri two weeks ago. The Sooners need a win this week or at LSU next week to secure bowl eligibility.

Why Oklahoma can cover
Oklahoma’s season has not gone as planned, but the Sooners have a chance to resurrect their campaign with a win on Saturday night. Their offense failed to score more than 14 points in three straight games in October before getting back on track with 59 points in a blowout win over Maine. Junior running back Jovantae Barnes had 203 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 18 carries, averaging 11.3 yards per attempt. Barnes, however, is listed as questionable on Oklahoma’s availability report.
The Sooners were unable to overcome a late fumble return for a touchdown in their loss at Missouri two weeks ago, but they had a bye last week to prepare for this game. Sophomore quarterback Jackson Arnold has 1,243 passing yards, 12 touchdowns and three interceptions, and his ability to protect the ball will be crucial on Saturday night. Oklahoma is 11-2 in its last 13 home games, and all the pressure is on Alabama in this contest. See which team to pick here.
Why Alabama can cover
Alabama’s offense struggled in its 24-17 loss at then-No. 11 Tennessee last month, but the Crimson Tide have looked nearly unstoppable in their three games since then. They outscored Missouri, LSU and Mercer by a combined score of 128-20, covering the spread in each of those games. Oklahoma has been trending in the opposite direction with four losses in its last five games, with its lone victory during that stretch coming against FCS Maine.
The Sooners were outscored 95-26 in their losses to Texas, Ole Miss and South Carolina before losing at Missouri on a late turnover. Their offense has been switching quarterbacks throughout the season, and they are simply not built to keep pace with a team like Alabama. The Crimson Tide are 15-2 in their last 17 SEC games, covering the spread in 13 of their last 20 games overall. See which team to pick here.
