Oklahoma Sooners Face Navy in Armed Forces Bowl

The Armed Forces Bowl will feature a matchup between the Oklahoma Sooners (6-6) and the Navy Midshipmen (9-3) on Friday at noon ET in Fort Worth, Texas. Oklahoma, struggling with a disappointing season and multiple player opt-outs, including starting quarterback Jackson Arnold, has seen a decline under head coach Brent Venables. In contrast, Navy is looking to secure its first 10-win season since 2019 after a successful campaign capped by a victory over Army. ESPN's FPI predicts a 75.6% chance for Oklahoma to win, despite their recent turmoil and Navy's strong rushing attack. The over/under for the game is set at 44.5 points, with Navy favored to cover the spread. As both teams prepare to face off, Navy aims to build on their success while Oklahoma looks to end the season on a high note.
