Alabama hits the road to face Oklahoma looking to keep its CFP hopes alive. Get our expert Alabama vs. Oklahoma predictions and best bets for Saturday here.
Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe looks to throw against Missouri during the second half of an NCAA college football game, Saturday, Oct. 26, 2024, in Tuscaloosa, Ala. The No.7 Alabama Crimson Tide hit the road to face the Oklahoma Sooners this weekend for an SEC showdown as Kalen DeBoer’s team looks to move closer to a College Football Playoff berth. Sportsbooks favor the Crimson Tide right now, with Alabama currently sitting as a 13.5-point favorite among all major sportsbooks.
The Sooners have scored on the first drive in just one of their first six SEC games. Against an Alabama defense that’s been on a tear lately, that lack of production likely continues. Surprisingly, Oklahoma has only punted in one of those five stalled drives, so any other first-drive outcome at +480 is also worth considering.The Tide seems to have found its groove over the past three weeks after giving Alabama fans reason for worry earlier in the year.
For the Crimson Tide offense, Jalen Milroe remains the headline name. The QB has turned to his legs more in recent games, but against an impressive Oklahoma front seven, Milroe’s arm must be on full display. This one should be routine for Alabama, as long as Milroe can limit turnovers and continue to produce at a high level.Sitting at 5-5, this hasn’t been the season Oklahoma wanted, but the team is still in play for bowl eligibility and will look to secure it with a major upset this weekend.
