No. 16 Oklahoma Sooners vs. Temple Owls betting preview and prediction

The No. 16 Oklahoma Sooners play host to the Temple Owls on Friday night, and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, money line odds, and over/under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet.

The game starts at 6 p.m. and can be seen on ESPN.

The Sooners are undergoing a season of change as they enter the SEC. There are high hopes for a defense bringing back a ton of talent. However, the Sooners will break in a new quarterback, offensive line, offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator, and special teams analyst.

Seth Littrell may be new to his role at Oklahoma but he has had nothing but success at every stop since leaving the Sooners as a player.
