7. Kansas at Oklahoma State
LINE Oklahoma State -30
ATS PICK Oklahoma State
There’s no real deep analysis here other than to be absolutely, positively, 100% certain that the betting gods aren’t trolling us.
Kansas was on an all-time heater when it came to not covering, going 0-6 this year and winless ATS going back deep into 2020. Oklahoma decided to take the first half off of last week’s game off, and everyone’s cash machine was unplugged.
It’s worth a shot to find out if that was just an aberration.
30 is a TON to be giving away to an Oklahoma State team that beat SW Missouri State 23-16 and Tulsa by five. It’s biggest win this year was by 11 over Kansas State, Kansas has only lost by more than 30 twice, and …
It’s not that crazy to think Oklahoma State could win this 38-7.

There are few things to love about this. First of all, there’s an outside shot OU takes care of business all by itself. Texas did it in the 70-35 win over Texas Tech.
OU went into last week’s game against Kansas having scored 52 against TCU and 55 against Texas. Texas Tech’s defense was fine in a 25-24 loss to Kansas State and did what everyone else does to KU in a 41-14 win.
Second, Sonny Cumbie. The interim Red Raider head coach is going to want to wing it around a bit more and the O might press just enough to put up 28 or so.
Getting to 68 isn’t asking for the world here. Three of the last four Oklahoma games did it before whatever that was last week.
Before the weirdest point totals of the week, another ATS pick …
