Baylor at Oklahoma State odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Baylor at Oklahoma State odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 8 Baylor Bears (21-8, 10-6 Big 12) and Oklahoma State Cowboys (16-13, 7-9) meet Monday night in Stillwater. Tip-off at Gallagher-Iba Arena is 9 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Baylor at Oklahoma State odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Baylor defeated the Cowboys 74-58 Jan. 14 as a 7.5-point home favorite and held OSU to just 7-of-33 (21.2%) on 3-pointers. The win was part of a 6-game win streak from Jan. 11-28. The Bears are 5-3 since with all 3 losses on the road.

Oklahoma State has one of the top defenses in the Big 12, but opponents have piled up 85.0 points per game in a 4-game skid the Cowboys tote into Monday’s game.

Baylor at Oklahoma State picks and predictions

Prediction

Baylor 70, Oklahoma State 66

Moneyline

OSU senior G Avery Anderson III went down with a wrist injury in early February and the Cowboys have not been the same since. Anderson, who is out indefinitely, averages 11.1 points and a team-high 3.4 assists per game.

Baylor, which is fighting for real status in upcoming NCAA brackets, was better in recent losses than what showed in final scores.

PASS. Consider a play at -115 or better. Otherwise, buy the point on the ATS play.

Against the spread

The road team is 15-5-2 ATS in the last 22 series meetings.

TAKE THE BEARS -1.5 (-110) as a partial-unit play.

Over/Under

The Bears’ pace numbers have been on the decline, and the Under is 6-2 in their last 8 games following a straight-up win.

Both teams are exceptional in defending the perimeter. A little Baylor shooting regression would not be a surprise.

TAKE THE UNDER 141.5 (-105).

Baylor at Oklahoma State odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Monday’s Baylor at Oklahoma State odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Baylor Bears (22-5, 10-4 Big 12) visit the Oklahoma State Cowboys (13-13, 6-8) Monday at Gallagher-Ida Arena in Stillwater, Okla. Tip-off is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we look at the Baylor vs. Oklahoma State odds and lines, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

The Bears picked up a 72-62 victory against TCU at Ferrell Center in Waco on Saturday. It was especially impressive since the win came without starters G L.J. Cryer (foot) and G Adam Flagler (knee) in the lineup. They’re both uncertain for Monday’s contest.

The Cowboys picked up an 82-79 overtime win over Kansas State in their most recent game Saturday in Stillwater. Oklahoma State failed to cover, however, and is now just 2-5-1 ATS across the past eight outings.

Baylor at Oklahoma State odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Baylor 68, Oklahoma State 64

Money line

Baylor (-210) will cost you over two times your potential return, and that’s rather risky betting behavior to take them with Cryer and Flagler likely in street clothes. The Bears played with a short bench last time out, but doing so on the road is a much different situation.

PASS.

Against the spread

Lean to OKLAHOMA STATE +4.5 (-110) plus the points. Yes, the Cowboys are just .500 overall, but Baylor -4.5 (-110) is struggling in the health department. The underdog has cashed in four of the past five meetings, too, so the Cowboys are the better play on their home hardwood.

Over/Under

The UNDER 138.5 (-108) is worth playing in this conference tilt. Cryer and Flagler are two of the top three scorers for the Bears, and if both are sidelined, Baylor could have a difficult time scoring the basketball.

Baylor vs. Oklahoma State odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Baylor vs. Oklahoma State odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 9 Baylor Bears (10-2, 7-2 Big 12) face the No. 5 Oklahoma State Cowboys (11-1, 8-1) Saturday in the 2021 Big 12 Championship Game. Kickoff from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, is set for noon ET. Below, we look at the Baylor vs. Oklahoma State odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

Rankings according to the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

This will be a rematch of Oklahoma State’s 24-14 win Oct. 2 over Baylor in Stillwater, Okla. The Cowboys outgained Baylor 401-280 in total yards and controlled the time of possession (34:27 – 25:33) throughout the game.

Baylor has since gone 5-2 ATS with straight-up wins over Oklahoma, Kansas State, and Texas Tech in its last three games. The Bears have one of the nation’s best running games (227.7 yards per game, eighth nationally) and are stout against the run on defense (122.9 yards allowed per game, 22nd); however, a mediocre passing game means that points may be at a premium like they were in the first meeting.

Oklahoma State is coming off a major 37-33 win against rival Oklahoma last Saturday and is playing for a potential spot in the College Football Playoffs with a win. The Cowboys have covered nine of their last ten games thanks to an elite defense that ranks fourth in yards allowed per play (4.4) and sixth in points per game (16.4).

Baylor vs. Oklahoma State odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Oklahoma State 27, Baylor 20

Money line

Oklahoma State was the more dominant team the first time these two met, and the Cowboys have only improved since then.

PASS on the money line and get better odds for the Cowboys against the spread.

Against the spread

The way Oklahoma State beat Baylor earlier this season was a blueprint for what they’ve done all year: suffocate on defense, control the time of possession, and have just enough juice on offense to pull away.

There’s a narrative that it’s hard to beat the same team twice in a season, and while Baylor’s 18th-ranked offense (6.5 yards per play) poses a challenge for the Cowboys, Oklahoma State is rolling and should have minimal letdown risk coming off that Oklahoma win with so much on the line.

Take OKLAHOMA STATE -4.5 (-115) to win by around a touchdown.

Over/Under

Baylor has gone Under in each of its last three games, but those lines were all 49.5 points or higher. The Bears should be able to move the ball at times and Oklahoma State has just enough firepower on offense to take this game well into the 40s.

A slight lean to the OVER 46.5 (-108) is the call in what looks like a pretty accurate line.
