Winnable Game

FSU football is a touchdown betting favorite over the Oklahoma Sooners on a neutral field. That means the Noles would likely be near -9.5 or -10 point betting favorites if the game took place in Doak Campbell Stadium. FSU ranks as the No. 11 team overall in FEI advanced metrics.

They have the No. 8 offense and No. 34 defense. Oklahoma ranks as the No. 29 team overall. They have the No. 27 offense and No. 42 defense.

We’ll break down the game more in-depth, but the Sooners have struggled to stop the run, allowing 4.44 yards per rush.

They allow 5.56 yards per play and have allowed 29.6 points per game. They have an explosive offense, averaging 6.27 yards per play and 32.9 points per game.

However, it looks like they could be without some key players as they will skip the bowl game to begin preparing for the NFL Draft.

It looks as though FSU will have all of their starters for the bowl game unless Fabien Lovett decides he’s not going to play. Jammie Robinson and Jared Verse have already confirmed they planned to suit up. FSU football is a touchdown betting favorite over the Oklahoma Sooners on a neutral field.

FSU has rushed for over 200 rushing yards in seven consecutive games. It looks like this game has a great shot to be No. 8. As long as the FSU shows up, they should win. If that happens, that’s FSU’s first 10 win season since 2016 and possibly a top 10 finish.
