2010 BCS Predictions: Oklahoma Sooners Football Betting Odds

With a loaded and experienced offense and a strong defense with a favorable schedule as well as a rebuilding arch rival, the Oklahoma Sooners are a solid 7-1 choice at online sportsbooks to win the national championship in 2010 BCS predictions. Oklahoma football is also due for some good luck after losing Heisman Trophy quarterback Sam Bradford for the entire 2009 season after he was injured during the season opener. The good news heading into college football betting odds for the 2010 season is that sophomore Landry Jones was able to learn the offense and develop his skills in Bradford’s place. Jones had a fine freshman performance in which he threw for 3,198 yards and a 26/14 TD/INT ratio as the Sooners averaged 31 point per game.

Among the other 8 returning offensive starters will be 2nd team Big 12 receiver Ryan Broyles, a junior that had 1120 yards and 15 touchdowns last year. Senior running back DeMarco Murray, another 2nd team Big 12 member, will return as well. Head coach Bob Stoops enters his 12th season at the helm in Norman and does have 6 slots to fill on defense but there is plenty of talent and Stoops is a defensive specialist. Oklahoma finished last year 8-5 straight up in college football odds and 4-7-1 against the spread but did win the Sun Bowl against Stanford although they failed to cover as 10-point favorites in a 31-27 triumph.

Sooners football have been a strong home favorite over the past 4 seasons with a mark of 16-6 against the board. OU will have a favorable college football betting schedule looking at 2010 BCS predictions with their toughest games looking to be at Missouri on October 23rd and at Texas A&M on November 6th. The Bedlam game at Okie Sooners could also get dicey on November 27th. As usual, the October 2nd Red River Rivalry game against rebuilding Texas should be for the South Division title. Oklahoma football has much in their favor that could take them all the way in 2010 if Stoops shores up the defense.
