Overview

• Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET in Norman in the weekend’s only game featuring two ranked teams.
• Sportsbooks price Oklahoma as roughly a 4.5–5.5 point favorite, with totals hovering in the mid-40s.
• Sooners quarterback John Mateer opened with 392 passing yards and three touchdowns on 30-of-37, while Michigan’s Bryce Underwood debuted at 21-of-31 for 251 yards and a score and now faces a hostile road environment.
• Predictions diverge: MLive forecasts Oklahoma 31-23 to cover -4.5 and push the total over 44.5, the New York Post backs the Sooners -5.5, and OutKick advises taking the under.
• Both teams cruised in Week 1—Michigan 34-17 over New Mexico and Oklahoma 35-3 over Illinois State—in a matchup that marks only their second meeting after the Sooners’ 1976 Orange Bowl win.
