Alabama is getting 74 percent of bets to win the game and cover the big point spread.

The other 26 percent of wagers project Oklahoma will either win outright in an upset, or keep the final margin to two touchdowns or fewer in a loss.

When taking the point spread and total into consideration, it’s implied that Alabama will defeat Oklahoma by a projected score of 31 to 17.

Our early pick: Alabama -13.5 ... Oklahoma has the defense and the home crowd to prevent Alabama from getting whatever it wants early, but the Sooners’ continued lack of offense will allow Jalen Milroe and Co. to pull away eventually.
