Making their third true road trip of the season, the Oklahoma Sooners are hoping to avoid last place in the Big 12 when they face off with Iowa State on Saturday.
Oklahoma features one of the best offenses in the country, when their quarterback is healthy. If you take away the Texas game from Oklahoma’s ledger, the Sooners are averaging 39 points per game. Without Dillon Gabriel, the Sooners are averaging just 33 points per game.
Iowa State, on the other hand boasts one of the best defenses in the country. That unit is allowing just 15.1 points per game, good for sixth in the nation.
It’s going to be a tight contest this weekend in Ames, let’s take a look at the betting lines from BetMGM.

Advice and prediction
This should be a relatively low-scoring game. The Sooners offense hasn’t scored fewer than 30 points a game with Dillon Gabriel at the helm for a full 60 minutes. Iowa State looks to be the toughest test Jeff Lebby’s offense has faced to this point.
Iowa State has played every team they’ve faced close this season, but when Oklahoma’s on, they have arguably the best offense not named TCU. Matt Campbell described OU’s offense “as explosive as anyone.”
The key for the Sooners is getting stops on defense. If they can keep an underwhelming Iowa State offense from putting together some drives, then Oklahoma should come away with the win.
Take Oklahoma minus-1.5 and the under this week as the Cyclones defense puts up enough of a resistance to keep the Sooners from running away with the game.
Prediction: Oklahoma 30, Iowa State 24
Record against the spread and O/U in 2022: 8-6.
