The Colts are riding a three-game winning streak for the first time since the 2021 season and currently sit at the No. 7 seed in the AFC playoff race with six games remaining. Even though they’ll be without Jonathan Taylor (thumb) for a few weeks, they’ll have Zack Moss to carry the load in the backfield. Meanwhile, the Titans just snapped a three-game losing streak and have lost five of their last seven.

Advice and prediction

Michael Pittman Jr. OVER 72.5 receiving yards (-115)

There have been few receivers as consistent as Pittman this season. He has at least eight receptions in each of the last four games and has averaged 81.2 receiving yards per game over the last six games. Meanwhile, the Titans have allowed one receiver to surpass this line of 72.5 yards in four of the last five games so there’s a strong chance Pittman makes good on this bet.

Prediction: Colts 21, Titans 17

Oklahoma Sooners vs. No. 24 Oklahoma State Cowboys: Prediction, point spread, odds, best bet

Latest lines and betting preview for the Oklahoma Sooners’ in-state matchup with Oklahoma State. From @john9williams

The Oklahoma Sooners play host to the No. 24 Oklahoma State Cowboys on Saturday, and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, money line odds, and over/under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet at BetMGM.

The game starts at 6:30 p.m. CT and can be seen on ABC.

In their loss last week against West Virginia, Oklahoma failed to cover a spread yet again, falling to 3-7 on the season. In inclement weather, the two sides played a low-scoring affair that also failed to hit the over and fell to 4-5-1 against the point total.

Despite having a worse record, Oklahoma is more than a touchdown favorite at home against their in-state rivals. While the all-time series record heavily favors the Sooners and Spencer Sanders may be limited, it’s hard to fathom Oklahoma being that big of a favorite with the season they’ve had.

Let’s take a look at the betting lines from BetMGM.

Advice and prediction

It’s expected to be 40 degrees at kickoff, and at the moment, there isn’t any moisture or wind in the forecast. Still, by halftime, the temperature will be at or below freezing in Norman. That could play a factor in Oklahoma’s ability to find a rhythm offensively.

As we’ve seen in recent weeks, the best part of the Oklahoma offense is their running game led by [autotag]Eric Gray[/autotag]. Oklahoma State’s run defense is a little bit better than Oklahoma’s, but the Cowboys still allow 163 yards per game and 4.4 yards per carry. Gray is second among Power Five runners with at least 150 carries on the season at 6.7 yard per carry.

On what will be a cold night, Oklahoma should continue to lean on the ground game to take the pressure off of a passing attack that’s been inconsistent in recent weeks.

In this game, the big question comes down to how healthy is [autotag]Spencer Sanders[/autotag]. He’s expected to play and will be a threat, but after missing the Kansas game and being limited against Iowa State, there’s no clear expectation on how much he’ll be able to do. Still, he’s a threat with his legs and that’s caused Oklahoma a lot of trouble in 2022. Expect that to keep the Sooners off balance, even if Sanders isn’t at full strength throwing the ball.

The Sooners have struggled to cover spreads in 2022, and I don’t think they will here. With the chilly temps and Oklahoma State’s excellent third-down defense (ninth in the nation at 28.8%), the Sooners will struggle to score a ton of points in this game. Take the under.

Prediction: Oklahoma 27, Oklahoma State 23

Record against the spread and O/U in 2022: 11-8-1.

Oklahoma Sooners vs. Baylor Bears: Prediction, point spread, odds, best bet

The Oklahoma Sooners look to extend their winning streak to three as a slight favorite against Baylor at home.

The Oklahoma Sooners play the Baylor Bears on Saturday, and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, money line odds, and over/under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet at BetMGM.

The game starts at 2 p.m. and can be seen on ESPN+.

This week’s matchup between Oklahoma and Baylor features two teams that had high preseason expectations. Now in week 10, Baylor is fighting for their Big 12 title game lives, and Oklahoma is fighting for pride. While the Sooners still have a 0.1% chance at winning the Big 12 title, they’d have to win out and have a lot happen over the final four weeks of the season to have even a remote chance of making the Big 12 title game.

The Baylor Bears, on the other hand, have a simpler task. Win out in games against Oklahoma, Kansas State, TCU, and Texas, and they’re in. Kansas State, TCU, and Texas represent three of the top four in the Big 12 standings heading into week 10.

Baylor is 5-3 against the spread in 2022 and the Sooners are just 3-5, or 3-4-1, depending on what number you ended up with against Kansas in the Sooners’ 10-point win. Baylor is 6-2 against the over/under, and Oklahoma is 3-4-1.

It’s going to be a tight contest this weekend in Norman, let’s take a look at the betting lines from BetMGM.

Taye McWilliams, RB: Out indefinitely (Undisclosed)

Craig Williams, RB: Questionable (Head)

Advice and prediction

Both Oklahoma and Baylor are averaging more than 30 points per game in 2022. If you look only at games in which Dillon Gabriel played a full 60 minutes, the Sooners are averaging 40 points per game.

The biggest difference in this matchup is that the Bears rank 50th in the country in points allowed per game at 23.25, while the Oklahoma Sooners are allowing 28.75 points per game, which is tied for 83rd in the nation.

While Baylor’s defense has looked good at times, they haven’t played an offense as good as the Sooners with Dillon Gabriel at the helm. The only win the Bears have against a team averaging more than 30 points per game is their 35-23 win over Kansas, and that was with Jason Bean at the helm. The only other team that they’ve played averaging more than 30 points per game this season is Oklahoma State, who they lost to 36-25.

The Bears’ defense allowed West Virginia to score 43 points just three weeks ago.

This game is destined to hit the over. The Oklahoma Sooners proved last week that they can score on the best defenses in the Big 12. The question comes down to can the Sooners slow down a strong offensive attack from Baylor. They’ll build on their performances against Kansas and Iowa State and find ways to get stops.

Look for a bounceback performance from Dillon Gabriel and Marvin Mims, and at home, the Sooners win and cover the 3.5-point spread.

Prediction: Oklahoma 34, Baylor 30

Record against the spread and O/U in 2022: 10-5-1.

Oklahoma Sooners at Iowa State Cyclones: Prediction, point spread, odds, best bet

The Oklahoma Sooners look to extend their winning streak to two against Iowa State as slight road favorites.

The Oklahoma Sooners play the Iowa State Cyclones in Ames on Saturday, and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, money line odds, and over/under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet at BetMGM.

The game starts at 11 a.m. and can be seen on Fox Sports 1.

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.

Iowa State

No injuries reported

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.

Oklahoma a slight favorite over Iowa State ahead of road trip Ames

With both teams coming off a bye week, the Oklahoma Sooners are an early favorite over the Iowa State Cyclones ahead of their game in Ames.

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.
