One of the two ranked matchups in college football for Week 13 is set to be an SEC showdown between No. 8 Oklahoma and No. 23 Missouri on Saturday. The Oklahoma Sooners (8-2, 4-2 SEC) are fresh off an upset victory over then-fourth ranked Alabama, finishing with a score of 23-21. This win marked back-to-back away victories over ranked teams after they previously triumphed against Tennessee in Week 10. Meanwhile, the Missouri Tigers (7-3, 3-3 SEC) broke a two-game losing streak by defeating Mississippi State 49-27, re-entering the AP Top 25.

Kickoff is set for noon ET at the Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium in Norman, Oklahoma. This marks the second SEC matchup between these former Big 12 rivals, with Missouri winning the first contest 30-23 last season. Current odds list the Sooners as 6.5-point favorites, and the over/under is pegged at 42.5 points.

In simulations, the model forecasts a total of 47 points expected, with the ‘over’ hitting nearly 60% of the time.
