College Football Playoff First Round
Friday, December 19, 2025
Kickoff: 5:00 PM PT
#9 Alabama (10-3) at #8 Oklahoma (10-2)
Memorial Stadium, Norman, OK
Alabama vs Oklahoma UNDER 41 -115
This CFP first-round rematch in Norman screams a low scoring defensive battle. These SEC foes met just a month ago in Tuscaloosa, where Oklahoma edged Alabama 23-21 in a game that totaled just 44 points, but that was inflated by short fields from turnovers (including a pick-six) and special teams plays. Oklahoma managed only 212 total yards, while Alabama's offense struggled to sustain drives despite outgaining them.
Both defenses are elite: Alabama ranks top 15 nationally in total yards allowed (284/game) with a stingy secondary, and Oklahoma is top 10 (274 yards allowed) while ranking 5th in rush yards surrendered. Oklahoma's offense has been anemic all year, averaging just 26 PPG (fewest among 10 win teams), and they've failed to score more than 2 offensive TDs in a game since late October. Alabama's attack has nosedived lately, with the UNDER cashing in their last 5 games (including a 7 point output vs Georgia).
The total has dropped to a historic low for a CFP game (41), reflecting cold weather potential and sustained winds around 15mph with gusts up to 25mph. A minor impact is possible on longer throws or kicks. Also, both teams' recent trends should be considered. OU is 10-2 to the UNDER, Bama 9-4. Expect a grind-it-out slugfest with limited explosive plays.
Good luck!
