Our Picks

A big theme on the show was fading a Michigan team that stormed the field after barely surviving Western Michigan, which is exactly the kind of spot that pushes bettors onto the road favorite.

Ryan Kramer (@KramerCentric): Oklahoma -6.5. Ryan is with Colby here, laying the points and wondering out loud how many points Michigan can even score in this game. He is tracking the number closely and figures 6.5 is about the peak, with the sharps already buying Oklahoma up before it climbs to seven.

Colby Dant (@thecolbyd): Oklahoma -6.5. Colby thinks Oklahoma has the best defense in the country and even reached for a Brian Bosworth comparison. He admits the case for the home dog is spot on, but he cannot shake what he saw from Michigan on tape against Western Michigan, so he is laying the number.

Sean Green (@SeanTGreen): Michigan +6.5. Sean’s read is that everyone just wants to fade Michigan, and the line rocketed roughly seven and a half points off pure perception. Getting 6.5 as a home dog in a game with a 43.5 total makes those points worth even more, so he is holding his nose and taking Michigan.
