Oklahoma at Iowa State: Odds, betting lines and picks
Prediction
Oklahoma 38, Iowa State 28
Money line (ML)
OKLAHOMA (-278) is a big road favorite over Iowa State in this Big 12 contest. The Sooners are coming off a tough loss to Kansas State despite scoring 35 points. They will look to bounce back against a shaky Iowa State team that has struggled mightily at home against Oklahoma.
The Cyclones have lost their last eight games versus the Sooners at Jack Trice Stadium. While a few of those games have been close, most have been blowouts. Expect Oklahoma to win by a couple scores.
Against the spread (ATS)
OKLAHOMA -7 (-110) is a touchdown favorite over Iowa State Saturday evening. Neither team has fared well lately against the spread, as the Sooners have covered just twice in their last nine games. Somehow, Iowa State has been worse, failing to cover the spread in six straight contests.
With this spread being only a touchdown, expect the Sooners to cover here as they should win by double digits. Their offense matches up well against a weak Cyclones’ secondary and QB Spencer Rattler should have a monster performance. Take Oklahoma to win by at least 8 points with confidence.
Over/Under (O/U)
The total for this Big 12 matchup is set at 63.5 points and that still doesn’t feel high enough. Oklahoma can obviously put up a ton of points and is facing one of the worst defenses in the conference in Iowa State. Expect both teams to approach 30 or more points in this one with Oklahoma potentially reaching the 40s. This looks to be another high-scoring contest and the OVER 63.5 (-110) should have no problem hitting in Iowa.
