This is a great spot to take advantage of some plus money on the Navy moneyline at legal sports betting sites against an extremely thin Oklahoma roster that has seen plenty of transfers and opt-outs ahead of tLegal Sports Bettinghe game.

Opt Outs For Oklahoma Lead To Great Value On Navy

Oklahoma has been one of the hardest hit teams in all of college football since the transfer portal opened which has really thinned out their depth heading into this one against Navy. There are 14 players and counting for the Sooners that will not be suiting up against Navy including:

• QB Jackson Arnold
• WR Brenen Thompson
• WR JJ Hester
• WR Jalil Farooq
• TE Bauer Sharp
• CB Kani Walker
• C Josh Bates
• LB Dasan McCullough
• WR Jaquaize Pettaway
• C Geirean Hatchett
• WR Nic Anderson
• WR Andrel Anthony
• LB Danny Stutsman
• S Billy Bowman

The Sooners offense is already the second worst in the SEC this season averaging just 24.3 ppg. It is hard to see them come anywhere close to that, especially against a Navy defense that is ranked third in the AAC in points allowed per game at 22.3.

On offense, Navy is explosive at 32.2 ppg on 249.3 rush yards per game. Their defense will have no issues in controlling an Oklahoma team that is starting nearly all backups, especially without many opt outs of their own.

From a betting standpoint, Navy should have no issues here having gone 8-4 against the spread on the season and covering by +5.5 points on average. They are 3-2 ATS as an underdog on CFB betting sites and have won outright in all three games that they covered.

Oklahoma, on the other hand, has failed to cover in two of their last three games which includes a loss as exactly a 3-point favorite as well.
