Michigan is not a popular bet to defeat Oklahoma this Saturday evening, when the Oklahoma Sooners play host to the Wolverines at 7:30 p.m. EST. Oklahoma is cast as a strong (-5) point spread favorite on its hallowed ground of OU Memorial Stadium. Each 1-0 team debuted with a comfortable win last weekend.
OU's new lineup garners more hype compared to last year's 6-7 Oklahoma team that lost to LSU and Navy back-to-back to end the campaign. However, like the Wolverines, the Sooners were largely underwhelming with the ball against a group of inferior athletes to begin the 2025-26 season.

Michigan Wolverines at Oklahoma Sooners Predictions and Picks
Were the two powerhouses looking forward to each other last weekend? Oklahoma only led Illinois State of the FCS division 21-3 after three quarters, relying on QB John Mateer's able arm in a game that did not see the Sooners rush for 100 yards. Michigan, meanwhile, allowed New Mexico's wide receiver Dorian Thomas a pair of midgame TD receptions in a shaky Week 1 win of the Wolverines' own.
Local media have been unusually kind to Michigan after such a dicey performance, arguing that frosh QB Bryce Underwood's terrific aerial display makes up for any concerns about the defense. Charles Post of Maize N Blue gives the defensive backfield more credit than criticism after Week 1: "Cornerback Jyaire Hill picked up a crucial pass interference penalty and was beaten for a touchdown in the third quarter, but (defensive backs) Brandyn Hillman and TJ Metcalf more than made up for the mistakes."
Our prediction is the over-total-points bet prevailing on Saturday. When a talented QB puts up numbers against Oklahoma's blue-collar defense, the Sooners almost always respond with an offensive flourish of their own. Cool skies will let starters play a maximum number of snaps, although bettors should wait to make the wager until they're certain that Sunday's expected hard rain in Norman won't arrive a day early.
