– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line
If you’re going to dive in, go head first. (Not really, but … okay.)
If you think an underdog is going to win outright, then of course you’re going to like it against the spread.
Oklahoma State is a decent +220 on the money line, and it’s getting seven points after opening up as a +10. The offensive pop is there to keep up if this gets into a Bedlam shootout, but this is all on the Cowboy defense.
OSU has has yet to allow over 400 yards in passing offense, West Virginia was the only team to come up with more than 200 yards through the air, and the only loss came to Texas when OSU did everything right except for a few key breakdowns.
Oklahoma’s offense is rolling. Pushing the 500-yard mark in every game but the loss to Iowa State and the win over Texas as the attack is balanced, the passing game is improving with Spencer Rattler getting more experience, and the points are coming.
However, after surviving a near-collapse against Texas, who has OU beaten?
A punchless TCU, a Texas Tech that has stopped playing offense, and a Kansas that just plain stopped altogether.
Again, the call is that Oklahoma State will take this outright with a huge performance from its defense, but if it doesn’t, you’re getting seven.
