The current betting odds reflect a significant leaning towards the Oklahoma Sooners, favored heavily by the oddsmakers with a spread of -18.5. Tulane, the underdog, faces a tough task but offers potentially high rewards for bettors at +590 on the moneyline. The total set at 54.5 suggests expectations of a moderately scoring game, with the line slightly favoring the under.
Darian Mensah QB vs. Jackson Arnold QB
Darian Mensah was very good at Tulane at the start of the season, registering a completion percentage of 70.7 throughout two games, during which he threw for 547 yards. His knack for the long ball is also evidenced by his 68-yard pass, giving the Tulane offense a much-needed vertical threat. However, given the five times he has been sacked so far, Mensah may be vulnerable, and Oklahoma will seek to take advantage of that.
On the other hand, 63.2 % of the passes for 315 yards made by Jackson Arnold of Oklahoma can be seen as productive, simply not how it’s been in the past. However, it is red-zone efficiency that Arnold possesses more than anyone, completing 6 touchdown passes and only one interception. His shorter average pass indicates a more conservative demeanour, which might be cheekily taken advantage of by a steady Tulane defense.
Ground and Air Attack: Tulane’s Offensive Dynamics
Tulane’s rushing offense, which Makhi Hughes spearheads, has managed to record139 rushing yards given an average of 5.3 rushing yards per carry and gets much support from the passing attack. Hughes has speed, as evidenced by a 39-yard run, and it is a danger to Oklahoma, so it must be kept in check. Further, the receiver Mario Williams has made several plays despite not scoring yet and has 252 yards, further showing that he is capable of a breakout game.
Oklahoma’s Balanced Offensive Threat
On the other hand, Taylor Tatum averages 12.5 yards in rushing for Oklahoma’s offense, and Deion Burks has three receiving touchdowns. Thus, both of them contribute quite well both in the air attack as well as the ground attack. With the capability of a two-dimensional attack, it compels Tulane to defend different aspects of the game, perhaps over-stretching their defense and providing Oklahoma with the chance to exploit the weaknesses.

Tulane Green Wave vs. Oklahoma Sooners Betting Prediction
With Oklahoma leading comfortably and moving towards a win, Tulane on the road and their good defending might allow them to exceed a spread that looks rather generous towards the Sooner, perhaps making this contest more interesting than initially thought. Considering that the pattern and trend consistent with Tulane games is more unders than overs, a fair chance is that oddsmakers got the total points too low. While Oklahoma is expected to win, it is easy to see why a backup model plays on Tulane, who should not be another wall against which all attacking teams will face off.

Score Prediction: Oklahoma 30, Tulane 17.
