4* Free 2023 Valero Alamo Bowl NCAA Betting Prediction: Arizona -3
Oklahoma has displayed impressive offensive prowess in their recent bowl outings, averaging 44.7 points and 581.3 yards in their last three appearances and maintaining a solid 32 points over their last seven games.
On the other hand, Wildcats QB Noah Fifita has made a significant impact, throwing for 23 TD’s, a feat that ties him with USF’s Brown for the most by an FBS freshman this season.
Arizona is a battle-tested team. They faced a challenging stretch this season, engaging in 6 consecutive matchups against AP Top 25 teams. Impressively, the Wildcats secured victories in 4 out of those 6.
On the moneyline, the way to go is to grab Arizona. Not only should they pick up a win over Oklahoma, but I also project them covering the spread.
My pick on the spread is Arizona at -3. I expect the Arizona rushing game to exploit the issues in Oklahoma’s defense, which struggled against the run in their previous matchup. Lock in your bet for Arizona at -3.
Oklahoma has an average margin vs. the over/under of -0.8 this season.
With the over/under set at 63, we anticipate this game to exceed expectations, ending with a combined total of 64 points.
Arizona holds a strong 7-1 ATS record in their last 8 games and an impeccable 8-0 SU record when playing as the favorite. Conversely, Oklahoma faces challenges as the underdog with a 1-6 SU record in their last 7 games.
