The Oklahoma Sooners and the Iowa State Cyclones will meet in Ames this weekend in a game that will decide last place in the Big 12.
Iowa State’s got the best defense in the Big 12 but hasn’t been able to put together enough offense to come away with a Big 12 win. Oklahoma’s offense has been great at times, but the defense hasn’t been able to stop anyone with any semblance of consistency since the Nebraska game. It’s a game that will be decided by which team’s weakness is able to do the most, Oklahoma’s defense vs. Iowa State’s offense.
The early betting line favors the Oklahoma Sooners by 2.5 points and with how good they played against Kansas, that seems like an easy bet. However, Iowa State’s last three losses have come by three points or fewer. In their four conference losses, the average margin is 3.5 points per game.
This one has the makings of another close ball game between the Sooners and the Cyclones, but as things stand now, Oklahoma minus the points and the two teams under 55.5 seem like the best bets to make.
