The Oregon Ducks pay $200 for every $100 bet to win outright on the moneyline but the chances of a cover are much greater at +7 as Oklahoma has won nearly 90% of their games as a favorite dating back to 2018.
No matter who manages to cover the spread here, the books win out with both teams this season. That's because, while both have solid Straight Up records, neither will end up with winning records Against The Spread. Oregon would be a mere 6-8 ATS with a cover while Oklahoma ends up at the .500 mark ATS.
There is some strategy here on the part of the books: An Oregon cover allows for an even greater profit on the Sooners!
Gambling911.com has also detected a slight overlay of 1.5 to 2 points, indicative of a potential Ducks cover within the 6.5 margin.
It's full steam ahead for this year's Alamo Bowl despite Covid concerns that have resulted in cancelled bowl games.
The Holiday Bowl between the UCLA Bruins and the NC State Wolfpack was canceled just hours before kickoff.
