Best Bet of the Day
Oklahoma Sooners -4.5 over Oregon Ducks
9:15 pm ET, ESPN
It’s the Alamo Bowl and Oklahoma comes into this one with QB Caleb Williams leading the offense, while the head coach vacancy will be filled by longtime Sooner legend, Bob Stoops. Oklahoma has gone 3-2 in games in which Williams has played this season and the QB has thrown for 1,670 yards, 18 touchdowns and 4 interceptions in his five appearances this season. Oregon is going to lean on their defense and running game but they may not have the firepower to keep up with Oklahoma if the Sooners start the scoring early. Read our full game preview for Oregon vs Oklahoma.

The NHL action rolls on today, and FanDuel has boosted the odds of a three-team parlay on the Devils, Capitals, and Panthers all to win tonight from +340 to +440!
