Why Oklahoma can cover
Oklahoma was unable to overcome turnovers in losses to Tennessee and Texas, as the Sooners committed five combined turnovers in those games. They are riding the second-longest bowl streak in the country (25 seasons), and this game could play a pivotal role in their chances of extending that streak. Their defense has been their calling card this season, as they lead the SEC and are tied for seventh nationally with 14 turnovers forced.
They are also tied for tenth in college football in sacks per game (3.17), which played a key role in their win at Auburn two games ago. Freshman quarterback Michael Hawkins Jr. has been gaining valuable experience since taking over as the starter against Tennessee, completing 62.7% of passes for 458 yards and a touchdown. Oklahoma is 10-1 in its last 11 home games, while South Carolina is 1-5 in its last six road games. See which team to pick here.
Why South Carolina can cover
South Carolina has been an upset-minded team this season, starting with a 31-6 win at Kentucky as a 9.5-point road underdog in early September.

They held a 19-14 lead entering the fourth quarter and had a chance to win the game following an onside kick recovery in the final seconds.
Freshman quarterback LaNorris Sellers completed 23 of 31 passes for 238 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 20 yards.
