BookMaker has the Oklahoma Sooners listed as 15-point favorites at home against the SMU Mustangs on Saturday in week 2 of the college football season. These teams have only met one other time before this matchup which occurred in 1995 and resulted in a 24-10 win for the Oklahoma Sooners, however, SMU covered the spread as a 28.5-point underdog. 

The SMU Mustangs are 1-0 ATS overall this season after finishing last season with a record of 5-8 ATS overall, 3-3 ATS on the road, and 1-4 ATS as an underdog while the Oklahoma Sooners are 1-0 ATS overall, 1-0 ATS at home, and 1-0 ATS as a favorite this season after finishing last season with a record of 5-8 ATS overall, 2-4 ATS at home, and 4-7 ATS as a favorite.

Oklahoma looked like one of the best teams in college football in week 1 as they defeated the Arkansas State Red Wolves by a score of 73-0 at home while SMU did get the win and covered the spread as a favorite against the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs at home they are going against a much tougher opponent in week 2. 

The Sooners should have no problem getting the win in this matchup and I look for them to win in a rout again at home which is why I am taking the Oklahoma Sooners -15 at home in week 2 of the college football season on BookMaker.
