Ty Simpson With Too High Expectations Passing

Ty Simpson Passing Yard Total

  • Over 274.5 +100
  • Under 274.5 -130

This is a tough spot for Simpson to hit over his passing yard total, which is set way too high at places in Alabama to bet on college football. Especially being that the Oklahoma defense is allowing just 181.8 pass yards per game.

In five games against power conference opponents this season, they’ve held three opposing QBs to under 274.5 passing yards.

As for Simpson, although he’s coming off of a 277 yard outing last week, he’s stayed under 274.5 in three of his last four and in six of nine this season.

Tide Run Defense can’t contain Xavier Robinson

Xavier Robinson Total Rushing Yards

  • Over 49.5 +106
  • Under 49.5 -137

This is a big time discounted line on Oklahoma CFB betting sites for Xavier Robinson’s rushing yard total. The sophomore has run for over this mark in each of his last three games, with a 94 rush yard per game average in those three games as well.

While Bama has looked like one of the hottest teams in all of college football recently, their defense against the run does lack, as they allow 139.1 rush yards per game, which sits in the bottom half of the SEC. In all five SEC games this season, they’ve allowed at least one player to run for over 49.5 yards.
