Oklahoma Sooners Football 2025

The Oklahoma Sooners are heading into the 2025 football season with momentum, and a new home. After wrapping up their final year in the Big 12 with a 10-win season and a Sugar Bowl trip, Brent Venables’ squad now prepares for life in the SEC.

Quarterback Jackson Arnold is taking over the offense after Dillon Gabriel’s transfer to Oregon. The sophomore flashed high-level talent last season and now gets the keys full-time. He’ll be supported by a strong offensive line, a dynamic backfield featuring Jovantae Barnes and Gavin Sawchuk, and wideouts like Jalil Farooq and Andrel Anthony, both expected to play major roles.

The defense is still a work in progress. With Danny Stutsman off to the NFL and former impact transfer Dasan McCullough no longer on the roster, Venables will rely on new leadership and continued growth from the 2024 recruiting class. Special teams could also be a hidden weapon, the return game showed flashes of explosiveness last fall.

Now officially in the SEC, Oklahoma enters the season ranked ninth in Action Network’s college football betting power ratings with a score of 93.1. That puts them just behind LSU and slightly ahead of Michigan. Not a bad spot for a team looking to make noise in Year 1 of their new conference.

Betting on the Oklahoma Sooners

Oklahoma Spread

Point spreads are wagers based on how much a team wins or loses by. In 2023, the Sooners went 6-7 overall, and 5-8 against the spread, not exactly a cover machine.

Here’s an example:

• Oklahoma -2.5 (-110)
• Texas +2.5 (-110)

If Oklahoma wins by three or more, they cover. If they win by one or two, or lose, Texas bettors cash their tickets. With a first-year SEC schedule, spreads may be tighter than in recent years, so line movement early in the week could be key.

Oklahoma Moneylines

Moneylines are all about picking the winner. Nothing else matters.

Example:

• Oklahoma -160
• Iowa State +180

The minus sign means Oklahoma’s the favorite, you’d need to bet $160 to win $100. The plus sign means Iowa State is the underdog, a $100 bet would net $180 if they pull off the upset.

Moneylines are also handy in parlays. If you like Oklahoma to win but don’t want to mess with a tricky spread, the ML gives you a way in.

Oklahoma Sooners Over/Unders

Totals, or over/unders, are wagers on the combined score. You’re not betting on who wins, just how many points go up on the board.

Let’s say Oklahoma faces Oklahoma State and the total is set at 70. If the game finishes 38-35, the over hits. If it ends 34-28, under bettors cash. If the final score lands right on 70, it's a push and everyone gets their stake back.

The Sooners hit the over in 50 percent of their games last season. With Arnold stepping in and the offense expected to open up, totals could start creeping higher.

Oklahoma Sooners Props

Player props let you bet on individual stats, like how many yards a quarterback throws for or which receiver scores first.

For example: Jackson Arnold passing yards: 2,950.5

College prop rules vary by state, and some sportsbooks don’t offer them at all. If that’s the case, DFS platforms like PrizePicks may offer similar player stat pick’em options.

Props also cover game-based outcomes, like first team to score or race to 20 points. They’re a nice way to stay engaged if spreads or totals don’t feel sharp.
