What cashed

ALT: LaNorris Sellers 210+ passing yards (+125 at DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: Sellers had cleared 210 passing yards in 8 of his last 10 games and 10 of his last 19. At +125, the price implied about 44 percent against roughly 64 percent from his recent games. This was one of our lower-confidence plays, and it landed. - What happened: Sellers threw for 301 yards on 19-of-24 passing, clearing by 91.5. Big plays did the heavy lifting: an 84-yard touchdown to DJ Black in the second quarter and a 79-yard touchdown to Mazeo Bennett Jr. early in the fourth. He threw two interceptions, one returned for an Oklahoma touchdown, and added 96 rushing yards on 13 carries. - Worth watching: A plus-money price on a quarterback who clears the number most weeks is where the value sits. His 12.5 yards per attempt here will not repeat every week, but the price gave room for that.

ALT: South Carolina +10.5 (-301 at DraftKings / -320 at FanDuel): CASHED - Our read: South Carolina had stayed within 10.5 in 8 of its last 10 and 6 of 7 this season, and we expected a low-scoring game that would favor the underdog. - What happened: The game was far higher scoring than that, but it did not matter. South Carolina won outright by 17, covering the alt line by 27.5. The Gamecocks led from their first touchdown, a 15-yard Sellers run in the first quarter, except for a brief 7-7 tie after the pick-six. - Worth watching: Taking a team that keeps games close and adding points works best when its quarterback can swing a game on his own. Sellers did that here.

ALT: Rocky Beers 40+ receiving yards (-130 at FanDuel / -101 at DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: Beers had cleared 40 receiving yards in 8 of his last 10 games and 9 of his last 16. The best price, -101, implied about 50 percent against roughly 65 percent from recent games. - What happened: Beers caught 4 passes for 51 yards, clearing by 11.5, with a long of 18. Oklahoma trailed for most of the day, and John Mateer threw 43 times. - Worth watching: Steady short gains got Beers there without a big play. When Oklahoma is chasing a game and Mateer is throwing 40 times, this kind of number is easier to reach.

How the game played out

Oklahoma's offense started slowly, punting on its first four drives, and its only first-half touchdown came on Kip Lewis' 30-yard interception return. South Carolina answered that with three straight touchdown drives before the break. Ivan Carreon caught two fourth-quarter touchdown passes from Mateer, but Oklahoma failed on both two-point tries and never got within two scores.
