Quarterback Trevor Knight, who was named the MVP of the Sooners’ Sugar Bowl win over Alabama after throwing for career highs of 348 yards and four touchdowns, has been cleared to play after sustaining a neck injury in a Nov. 8 loss to Baylor. His three-game absence coincided with Perine’s late-season explosion as the Sooners averaged 97.3 passing yards with redshirt freshman Cody Thomas starting, as opposed to 250.1 yards with Knight. Oklahoma also anticipates a healthy return from leading receiver Sterling Shepard, who missed most of the last five games with a lingering groin injury.
In their last action, Oklahoma was a 38-35 loser at home against Cowboys. They failed to cover the -19.5-point spread as favorites, while the combined score (73) was profitable news for OVER bettors.
Team record: 8-4 SU,5-7 ATS
Oklahoma is 2-6 ATS in its last 8 games
Oklahoma is 19-6 SU in its last 25 games
The total has gone OVER in 7 of Oklahoma’s last 9 games
The ringleader of the Tigers’ defense is two-time All-American Vic Beasley, who leads the ACC in sacks this year with 11 and has a school-record 32 in his career – tied for fifth in conference history. The ACC Defensive Player of the Year was one of four Clemson defensive players to be named to the all-conference first team, joining defensive tackle Grady Jarrett, cornerback Garry Peters and linebacker Stephone Anthony. Senior quarterback Cole Stoudt, who started seven games, will slide back into the starting role after the school announced that freshman Deshaun Watson would not continue to play through the same torn ACL he did in a Nov. 29 win over South Carolina.
In their last action, Clemson was a 35-17 winner at home against South Carolina. They covered the 4.5-point spread as favorites, while the combined score (52) was profitable news for UNDER bettors.
Team record: 9-3 SU,5-7 ATS
Clemson is 1-6 ATS in its last 7 games

The total has gone UNDER in 7 of Clemson’s last 8 games
