The best college football predictions for Week 4
One of Marshall’s top college football picks for Week 4: He’s backing No. 15 Oklahoma (+7) against the spread as the Sooners take on the Vols in Norman at 7:30 PM ET Saturday .
Tennessee is undeniably hot to open the season, as the Vols have been covered by more than 20 points to spare in their first three games. However, this is the first true road start for Iamaleava, and it should be against an extremely hostile crowd as the Sooners play their SEC opener.
The Vols covered just once on the road last year, while Oklahoma has covered seven of their last nine at home overall. Marshall expects a competitive game and likes to go the full seven points with OU, while backing the Over (57.5) as those teams are a combined 4-2 on this side of the total so far in 2024.
