On the flip side, BetMGM's total climbed from 63.5 to 67.5 (Over -115) by Thursday. But it's hardly overwhelming Over action, at 52% of tickets/60% of money.

UPDATE 2:30 P.M. ET MONDAY: Oklahoma got a week to rest after its huge win over Texas. The Sooners moved to a perfect 6-0 SU and ATS with a 34-30 Week 6 victory as 4-point neutral-site underdogs at the Cotton Bowl.

Central Florida won its first three games SU, lost its last three SU, and is 1-4 ATS in its last five games. The Knights (3-3 SU/2-4 ATS) also had a Week 7 bye, after getting shellacked 51-22 as 2-point favorites at Kansas.
