Oklahoma Sooners vs Mississippi St. Bulldogs Predictions October 24, 2026
Oklahoma will beat Mississippi State 24-20 in our forecast for October 24, 2026. The Sooners’ recent passing production gives them a slight edge against a Bulldogs offense facing quarterback uncertainty after a shutout at LSU. Confidence is low, however, and the supplied prices offer no compelling wager: pass on Oklahoma -3.5 (-105) and the total of 46.
Oklahoma Sooners vs Mississippi St. Bulldogs prediction and best bet
Oklahoma gets the pick because its passing game offers the stronger recent sign of offensive production. The Sooners gained 270 passing yards against Kentucky, while Mississippi State was shut out at LSU with several key players unavailable because of injury. That comparison favors Oklahoma, but the different opponents and injury circumstances limit its weight.
The official betting lean is Pass. A narrow Oklahoma victory is a reasonable forecast; paying to back that margin is a separate decision. The Bulldogs’ unresolved quarterback situation and Oklahoma’s offensive-line injury concern leave too much uncertainty to recommend either the spread or total.
