Sooners Getting Action at the Sportsbook in CFB Futures

One squad that is gaining some action on the futures board in college football betting at the sports books is Oklahoma.

The Sooners probabilities to win the national championship have slipped to 7-1. Only 2 squads at the sports books have lower probabilities. Defending champ Alabama is 4-1 while Ohio State is 6-1.



Sportsbook college sports betting odds will likely favor Oklahoma in each competition they play this season. Their most difficult test appears to be the game versus Texas. The Sooners have a favorable schedule although they won’t be the greatest rated squad in the nation to start the season. Oklahoma didn’t have a season up to their specifications last year. They did not make a BCS bowl competition and they went 8-5. It was only the 3rd time that Oklahoma didn’t make a BCS bowl competition in the last 10 years.

Oklahoma is typically a national power under head coach Bob Stoops so it was a surprise to see them fall last season. It ought to be observed however that the Sooners lost quarterback Sam Bradford to injury at the beginning in the season. That injured them last season but since Landry Jones has experience, it may help them this year. Jones threw for 3,198 yards and 26 touchdowns last season. The Sooners also bring back running back DeMarco Murray. Not to be neglected is wide receiver Ryan Broyles, who caught 89 passes for 1,120 yards and 15 touchdowns last year.

The Sooners always seem to be great on defense and in 2010 they bring back linebacker Travis Lewis, who led the squad in tackles, defensive end Jeremy Beal who led the squad in sacks and safety Quinton Carter, who tied for the squad lead in interceptions. The Sooners also have a fantastic recruiting class coming in that ought to supply support.

Oklahoma was only 24th in the nation in total yards last season and while that doesn’t sound too negative, it’s not excellent enough for the Sooners. The defense was strong at 8th best in the nation in total yards granted. If the offense was in the top 10, that number would have been excellent enough, nonetheless they were not. Since Jones has another year of expertise, they should be better this season.

Considering of their skill and also because of their schedule, the Sooners are thought to be national championship contenders. Their most difficult game will be versus Texas. It is not simple winning at Missouri or Oklahoma State but the Sooners ought to be liked in both of those competitions also.
