Scouting report

Sprinkle's read:Oklahoma -7 spread★★★★

Laying 7 with the better team

Oklahoma are laying 7, a number they have cleared in two of their last six. Oklahoma is No.

The number

A win by 7 or less is a loss on this ticket; it needs a comfortable margin, not just the result.

The decider

Kentucky's offense meets an Oklahoma defense that has been average; the edge there belongs to Oklahoma. Kentucky score 32.7 a game and Oklahoma allow 18.2.

Situational

Kentucky are missing CJ Baxter (RB), Tovani Mizell (RB); Oklahoma are missing Elijah Thomas (WR), Parker Livingstone (WR) — worth a notch of caution.

What breaks this

Oklahoma's offense meets a Kentucky defense that has been average; the edge in that matchup belongs to Kentucky. Kentucky have been the cleaner team with the ball, and in a close game that is usually the difference.
