Before making any Arkansas State vs. Oklahoma picks, you NEED to check out the college football predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every FBS college football game 10,000 times.

The model knows Arkansas State took care of the ball well last season, throwing only five interceptions, the fewest in the Sun Belt. The Red Wolves return a top-tier wide receiver in Corey Rucker. Rucker spent 2022 at South Carolina but, previous to that, he accumulated more than 1,300 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns for Arkansas State. The Red Wolves also excelled in the punting game last season, ranking in the top four of the Sun Belt in punting average and net punting average. 

The model also knows Oklahoma has a potent offense that is difficult to stop. The Sooners averaged 32.8 points per game last season and led the Big 12 with 474 total yards per game. Oklahoma was a top-10 rushing team in FBS a season ago, including 4.9 yards per carry and 28 rushing touchdowns. The Sooners also return a top-tier quarterback in Dillon Gabriel. He was the Big 12 offensive newcomer of the year in 2022, and Gabriel has more than 11,000 career passing yards.
