Week 2 college football game forecasts between Oklahoma and Michigan, along with odds and total points predictions for the Saturday spread and over/under bets.
The highly anticipated matchup between the Oklahoma Sooners and the Michigan Wolverines in college football is set to take place on Saturday, September 6, at 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC. The game promises a high-stakes environment and a prime-time atmosphere, with the total for the game dropping from 47.5 to 44.5.
The Sooners, currently a -5.5 favourite on the spread, had a disappointing 6-7 season in 2024, ending with a loss to Navy in the Armed Forces Bowl. However, they have made some significant changes, bringing in former Washington State quarterback John Mateer and his offensive coordinator, Ben Arbuckle.
On the other hand, Michigan, having won the College Football Playoff National Championship in 2023-24, struggled through its first season with Sherrone Moore as head coach, finishing 8-5. The Wolverines, sitting at +5.5 on the spread, have landed 5-star quarterback Bryce Underwood, the highest-rated offensive commit in the history of Michigan's football program.
Underwood's performance will be crucial, especially considering the crowd noise and the high-stakes environment. The Wolverines' defense had a strong performance in their first game of the season, allowing just 3.3 yards per play and a 1-of-11 conversion rate on third down.
The Sooners' defense also had a strong showing in their first game, allowing only 3 points against Illinois State. The over/under pick for the game is "Under 44.5", with the "Early Road Redemption" model, with a near 57% win rate, suggesting that underdogs failing to cover the spread early in the season can be bounce-back candidates under certain conditions.
The over/under for the game is as low as 43.5, reflecting the projections of a low-scoring game. The director of research Evan Abrams' PRO Systems favor the Michigan Wolverines. The article about this exciting game was written by author McCollough.
As for the moneyline, the Oklahoma Sooners have a -195 number to win the game outright, while Michigan has +165. With both teams looking to make a statement, the game between the Sooners and the Wolverines is sure to be a thrilling spectacle.
