Oklahoma Odds to Win Championship Prediction

The Oklahoma Sooners, one of the most popular teams in College Football, are prepping for 2021. After falling short of the College Football Playoffs, they’ll look to have a better showing this season. It isn’t as if the Sooners had a bad record though, actually, they finished 9-2. It’s due more to them losing two games early in the season. They finished second in the Big 12 but hope to claim the conference in 2021.

One of the most glaring problems with the Sooners last season was lack of experience. That’s something they’ll worry less about this season. Lincoln Riley will head into his fifth year as the head coach and he’ll do so with high expectations. Although they missed the playoffs last season, BetOnline is still giving them great odds this year. So, do the Sooners make a good bet to win the National Championship? Or should you leave Lincoln Riley and Oklahoma off of your ticket?

Where Do The Sooners Compare To The Others?

There are five teams with under +1000 odds to win the National Championship. That puts them as the five most realistic teams to win. Oklahoma falls into this group at number four at +600, just ahead of Ohio State but behind Georgia. We can surmise that Alabama is a better team than Oklahoma but we haven’t seen either team play yet. There is however a reason that the odds to win a National Championship are so high for Alabama.

Here’s where Oklahoma differs from the others. They have an incredibly generous schedule this season. The nearest team they face to them concerning odds are the Iowa State Cyclones. The same Cyclones who are +2500 to win the National Championship. The remainder of their schedule is a walk in the park compared to the other teams with the top five odds. This is where it gets interesting for the Sooners. An easy walk in the season could mean a quick elimination in the playoffs.

Should There Be Concern Over Player Departures?

This is actually the least of the Sooners concerns this season. Sure, they lost Ceedee Lamb and Jalen Hurts but that’s no worry to them. They have Spencer Rattler at quarterback who’s already a top candidate to win the Heisman Trophy. Along with him, they added a top wide receiving prospect in Luther Burden.

This is the mark of a team with great odds to win the National Championship in 2021 at +600. Lincoln Riley clearly knows what he’s doing and grooming his team for a championship. With the odds BetOnline has them at, it’s a no-brainer to at least put a wager on Oklahoma.

What We Would Do, Is Take Oklahoma To Win It All

First, you’ve got to admit they have the best payout for a team that was 9-2 last season. Coming in with the fourth-best odds to win the National Championship is perfect. They’re a strong, smart, and capable team that you can seriously cash in on. There are other great bets to take too! For instance, taking the over on the 11 wins total.

Oklahoma is prepared for a great season in 2021, it only makes sense they’d win it all. They’ve got enough offensively to outscore Alabama. They have a good enough defense to slow down the rushing attack of Georgia. The pieces are all there and we expect them to put it all together in 2021.
