Now they get to put those unblemished records to the test as double-digit favorites when they host the Sooners. OU's best win this year was its Week 1, 51-0 victory over UTEP. The Sooners lost a close one to Michigan 17-10 before (barely) bouncing back with a 14-6 win over New Mexico.
Does Oklahoma have a chance against the Dawgs between the hedges? Well, the Sooners could have a tough road ahead because, according to FOX Sports Betting Analyst Sammy P's sources, "Georgia is as good as anyone." Spread: Florida -3.5Moneyline: Florida -148; Ole Miss +125O/U: 58.5 What To Know: Ole Miss got a signature win last week by beating LSU. Not only did the Rebs get past the Tigers, they handed Lane Kiffin — their former head coach — his team's first loss of the season.
But Ole Miss is still entering the Swamp as the underdog to Florida, a team that got past Auburn last week 44-39. Which side might bettors eye in this All-SEC battle? FOX Sports Betting Analyst Will Hill is backing Ole Miss.
"I certainly have concerns about a potential letdown for Ole Miss after an emotional victory," he wrote, "but I’ll take superstar quarterback Trinidad Chambliss as an underdog." Spread: Michigan -5.5Moneyline: Michigan -218; Iowa +180O/U: 38.5 What To Know: Michigan is lucky to be undefeated after escaping W. Michigan on a controversial clock ruling in Week 1.

These teams also have identical records ATS at 2-1. In their most recent game, a 55-0 win over Northern Iowa, the Iowa Hawkeyes put up 640 total yards. In Michigan's most recent contest — a 52-17 whopping of UTEP — the Wolverines racked up 431 total yards.
Spread: Oregon -3Moneyline: Oregon -162; USC +136O/U: 62.5 What To Know: Which Big Ten team gets the win on Saturday night? After their shocking 39-31 loss to Oklahoma State in Week 2, the Ducks would like to avoid dropping another game this early in the season. On the other side is a Trojans team that has won their first four contests.
Against the spread this season, SC has not fared well, going 1-3 and the Trojans gave up 460 total yards to Rutgers last week. FOX Sports Betting Analyst Patrick Everson wrote that sportsbooks are seeing a lot of public money on the Over but that the sharps are wagering on the Under.
