Alamo Bowl Moneyline
Even though Oregon is the higher-ranked team, online sports betting sites have Oklahoma listed as the favorites to win.
Oregon has had a very underwhelming season despite their 10-3 record. Some could argue that the only reason they were ranked as high as they were is due to their win Over former #2 Ohio State at the beginning of the season.
Aside from Ohio State, Oregon went on to lose to an unranked Stanford and when a challenge was brought to them with a #23 Utah and a #17 Utah towards the end of the season and in the Pac-12 Championship, they lost both times.
Oklahoma had a 10-2 season as well and was also in contention for a playoff spot until losing to #13 Baylor and #7 Oklahoma State towards the end of the season. Oklahoma also has plenty more experience playing against ranked teams than Oregon does being that the Big-12 was far more competitive than the Pac-12 this season.
Oklahoma is also the 13th ranked offense in the country having scored 55 total touchdowns this season. With that, Oklahoma should be able to take care of business.
