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.
Change isn’t always a bad thing, though. Jackson Arnold brings a higher ceiling at quarterback despite less experience than Dillon Gabriel. The offensive line is the unit to watch throughout the season as the Sooners work to retool the position.
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. Zac Alley hasn’t been a coordinator long, but he’s been successful and has more familiarity with Brent Venables’ system than Ted Roof did, which should create more cohesion.
So as the Oklahoma Sooners open the season on Friday night against a Temple Owls team that was 3-9 a year ago, they’ll look to quickly establish their identity in 2024.

Advice and prediction
The Oklahoma Sooners may be unveiling a lot of newness, they’re a much more talented team than the Owls. OU has one of the higher blue-chip ratios in the nation and is among the top 10 teams in the nation in 247Sports team talent rankings.
Littrell and Arnold will look to make a statement through the passing game and the Sooners will get up big and ride their defensive talent to a decisive week one win. Take Oklahoma minus the points and take the game to go over.
Prediction: 56-6
