Best Bryce Underwood prop bets for Michigan vs. Oklahoma: How will the freshman fare on the road?

Its a big weekend for Michigan football as the Wolverines travel to Norman to take on the No.

18-ranked Oklahoma Sooners in one of the top matchups in college football this weekend.

All eyes will be on freshman phenom Bryce Underwood as the quarterback impressed during the teams 34-17 victory over the New Mexico Lobos in the season opener.

This Saturday will be a tougher challenge.

Oddsmakers currently favor Oklahoma as the Sooners are 4.5 to 5.5-point favorites across the top Michigan sportsbooks .

The over/under for the game can be found at 44.5 points.

Betting in-state college player props is legal in Michigan , so lets take a look at the markets surrounding the young quarterback and which lines could be worth wagering on in this game.

*NOTE: Odds are based on the best value our experts find while writing; check lines closer to game time to ensure you get the best odds.

Best Odds: -114 at FanDuel Underwood had 56 yards on five of six passing through his first two drives as the Michigan Wolverines starting quarterback.

That level of readiness and success shouldnt be scoffed at.

However, younger quarterbacks tend to struggle on the road against tough opponents.

The Sooners let up just 34 yards through the air in their season opener against Illinois State, and although Underwood is likely a better player than both Redbird QBs, he will have his work cut out for him in this Week 2 matchup.

Look for the Wolverines to try to grind this game out on the ground and for Underwood to take the back seat to Justice Haynes as the focal point of this offense.

Best Odds: -114 at FanDuel The Wolverines allowed just two sacks in their season opener.

Aside from those plays, Underwood recorded zero rushing attempts.

That likely changes against a Sooners defense that will look to create more chaos in the trenches this Saturday.

Underwood rolled out on passes 13 times on 34 dropbacks in the teams season opener against New Mexico.

Against a scrappy Sooners defense that will likely bring more pressure and tighter coverage, expect the freshman to try to create with his legs on a few plays en route to going over 10 rushing yards on the night.

Best Odds: -120 at bet365 Perhaps this line isnt as directly tied to Bryce Underwood, but there is a lack of player props markets, so we roll with the punches.

Still, if the Wolverines hope to score 15 on Saturday, theyll need their freshman quarterback to deliver in some capacity.

The Sooners offense is explosive, John Mateer was one of the most sought-after quarterbacks in the portal, and the Oklahoma passing attack shone in the teams 35-3 Week 1 victory over Illinois State.

Michigan didnt light up the scoreboard in its season opener, but the offense still looked great.

The team scored on six of its 11 drives, including touchdowns on the first two of the game.

Against Oklahoma, I expect the team to remain physical on defense, though they may look to grind out more drives with more conservative playcalling.

Both teams come into this game with high expectations and plenty to prove.

Who wins will be a toss-up, but Im confident that neither will go down lightly.

Expect each squad to get over the 15-point mark.

Betting on NCAA player props is legal in the state of Michigan making there more markets to wager on for both college football and basketball.

Some states have restrictions for betting on in-state programs/competitions or live betting.

However, residents in the state of Michigan can wager on college football without worry of any current restrictions.
