Oklahoma vs. Oklahoma State picks and predictions
Prediction
Oklahoma 81, Oklahoma State 75
Moneyline
PASS.
Oklahoma should come out on top and has proven itself this season, but it is too expensive to play here. The Cowboys aren’t worth the risk as plus-money underdogs, either.
Against the spread
BET OKLAHOMA -4.5 (-105).
The Sooners have had 3 games close within a single-digit spread, and they are 2-1 ATS in those and 3-0 straight up. Oklahoma is also 2-1 ATS in a neutral-court atmosphere and 3-1 ATS in its last 4.
The Cowboys have lost 2 of their last 5. They are 1-2 ATS on a neutral-court environment and 1-2 ATS as underdogs. Back OKLAHOMA -4.5 (-105).
Over/Under
BET OVER 153.5 (-105).
The Cowboys are 5-3 O/U on the season and 4-2 O/U in their last 6, scoring at least 76 points in every game this season. They have allowed at least 86 in 2 of 3 games as underdogs.
The Sooners are 5-4 O/U and have scored at least 79 points in 2 of their 3 neutral-court battles. Oklahoma is 2-1 O/U in those games and 3-2 O/U in its last 5. Take OVER 153.5 (-105).
