Pribula Expected to Start as No. 8 Oklahoma Hosts No. 22 Missouri in CFP‑Shaping SEC Clash

Reports indicate Beau Pribula will return at quarterback for Missouri.

Overview

  • Oklahoma remains a roughly 6 to 6.5‑point favorite with an over/under near 42 to 42.5, according to multiple sportsbooks and models.
  • The Sooners’ offensive line depth is thin with Troy Everett, Jacob Sexton and Jake Taylor ruled out and guard Heath Ozaeta listed as doubtful on the SEC availability report.
  • Missouri leans on FBS rushing leader Ahmad Hardy, who meets an Oklahoma front allowing just 82.2 rushing yards per game, best in the SEC.
  • Oklahoma’s defense forced three turnovers in last week’s 23–21 win at Alabama, and the Sooners can secure a CFP berth by winning their final two regular‑season games.
  • Freshman Matt Zollers started the past two games for Missouri in Pribula’s absence, completing 53% for 402 yards with four touchdowns and one interception, while data models such as Dimers give OU about a 69% win probability with a lean to the under.
