The Sooners have one of the best run defenses in the nation and that will help them contain Navy in this one.

  • Oklahoma are 3-2-0 ATS as a betting favorite
  • Navy are 1-2-0 ATS as a 7-point or bigger underdog
  • The Under has cashed in 4 of Navy’s previous 5 games

Head To Head

  • Navy lead the all-time series 1-0
  • Navy won 10-0 when the two teams last met in October 1965

Navy Form

Navy go into this matchup on the back of an upset victory in the Army-Navy game that took their record to 9-3.

The Midshipmen opened the season with a six-game win streak that included four victories in conference action.

That win streak was halted by a 51-14 defeat to Notre Dame, and they cooled off over the next couple of weeks as they lost two of their next three games.

Navy steadied the ship on the road though, as they beat East Carolina 34-20 in their penultimate conference game.

The Midshipmen then closed out the regular season in the best possible fashion, as they upset Army in a 31-13 victory.

Oklahoma Form

Oklahoma go into this game having lost six of the last nine, but a strong start to the season ensured they finished 6-6 to earn a Bowl invite.

The Sooners kicked off the campaign with three consecutive victories over non-conference opposition.

They struggled on SEC duty though, losing five of the first six games on their conference schedule, with the only win being a 27-21 success at Auburn.

Oklahoma did end their conference drought in sensational fashion though, as they took down Alabama in a 24-3 victory at home.

The Sooners failed to follow that up in their regular season finale however, as they were beaten 37-17 at LSU.

Verdict

Navy could not have asked for a better last outing, but Oklahoma can bring them back down to Earth.

The Midshipmen leaned on the run game to beat Army, and they will not be able to do that against a tough Sooners run defense.
