Against the spread

LEAN IOWA STATE -6.5 (-105).

Iowa State has played its best basketball at home this season with an undefeated 12-0 record while Oklahoma State has struggled on the road, posting just a 3-5 record.

While the Cyclones have struggled recently against the spread, just 1 of their previous 5 ATS losses has come at home. They are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games including a victory over No. 8 ranked Kansas last Saturday.

The favorite in the last 12 meetings between these programs is 9-3 ATS.

Over/Under

BET OVER 127.5 (-105).

While neither team has a particularly good offense, as it stands, the line of 127.5 would be tied for the 2nd-lowest closing line in Oklahoma State’s previous 10 games and Iowa State’s third-lowest closing line in its last 10.

The Over is 5-0 in the Cowboys’ last 5 games overall and 4-0 in their last 4 games following an outright win. For the Cyclones, the Over is 5-1 in their last 6 home games.

Oklahoma State at Iowa State odds, picks and prediction

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

The Oklahoma State Cowboys (13-15, 6-10 Big 12) visit the Iowa State Cyclones (20-9, 7-9) Wednesday at Hilton Coliseum in Ames, Iowa. Tip-off for the Big 12 bubble battle is set for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Oklahoma State vs. Iowa State odds and lines, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Oklahoma State has played in three consecutive overtime games. The Cowboys beat Kansas State 82-79 in OT Feb. 19 and then dropped extra-session affairs versus Baylor Feb. 21 (66-64) and at Oklahoma Saturday (66-62). OSU is just 3-8 since Jan. 22.

One of those eight recent losses came against these Cyclones. Iowa State defeated OSU 84-81 in overtime Jan. 26. ISU went on a four-game losing skid shortly thereafter from Feb. 1-12 but has rebounded by winning each of its last four.

Oklahoma State at Iowa State odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Iowa State 69, Oklahoma State 65

Money line

Both teams figure to be on the edge when it comes to getting an NCAA Tournament at-large berth if they don’t win a Big 12 tourney title. Iowa State certainly has the edge in that pursuit, but both fives are vying to have their seasons continue into the back half of this month.

Give Iowa State the nod as the better team and a near-two-thirds win probability for a home contest against Oklahoma State side coming off an emotional loss to Oklahoma and three overtime games in a row. Will OSU have the resiliency to bang around the paint for points in this one? That’s where any Cowboy success will come because ISU plays lockdown perimeter defense.

Consider a line watch here: take Iowa State at at price under -185.

Against the spread

In this series, the favorite is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings. Peg just a sliver of a lean on the CYCLONES -3.5 (-120). Waiting out a better price on the 3.5 points would be wise.

Over/Under

The Over is 5-1 in Iowa State’s last six overall, and that’s the best play in this Wednesday tilt between the Cowboys and Cyclones. The prospect for turnover/transition buckets is especially high.

TAKE THE OVER 130.5 (-115).

Oklahoma State at Iowa State odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Oklahoma State Cowboys at Iowa State Cyclones odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Iowa State Cyclones (4-2, 2-1 Big 12) host the undefeated No. 9 Oklahoma State Cowboys (6-0, 3-0) for a conference battle Saturday. Kickoff at Jack Trice Stadium is slated for 3:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Oklahoma State vs. Iowa State odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

Oklahoma State upset a then-ranked Texas Longhorns 32-24 as a 3.5-point road underdog Oct. 16. The Cowboys have won and covered their first four Big 12 games after playing two non-Power 5 schools in one-score games at the beginning of the year.

Iowa State has won three of the last four games, all by double digits with the lone loss coming at the No. 20 Baylor Bears in Week 4. The Cyclones also lost to the No. 11 Iowa Hawkeyes and are 3-3 against the spread (ATS) with a 3-3 Over/Under (O/U) record.

Since hiring head coach Matt Campbell in 2016, the Cowboys are 4-1 overall but just 2-3 ATS vs. the Cyclones.

Oklahoma State at Iowa State odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Iowa State 24, Oklahoma State 20

Money line

PASS with a slight “lean” to Oklahoma State (+205) because I only “lean” to the Cowboys plus points and “like” the total in this matchup.

However, four of Oklahoma State’s games have been decided by one score and the Cowboys are due for a loss in one of these coin-flip games.

Against the spread

“LEAN” to OKLAHOMA STATE +7.5 (-120) because there’s something strange about this line and I cannot figure out why Iowa State is this big of a favorite.

Oklahoma State has played a tougher schedule than Iowa State and beat a Baylor team (by 10 points) which upset the Cyclones 31-29 Sept. 25. Iowa State doesn’t have an impressive win on its resume whereas Oklahoma State just went into Austin and upset Texas.

This is a “Pros vs. Joe’s” game with a slight majority of the money being on Iowa State, but 78% of the bets placed are on Oklahoma State, according to Pregame.com. The pro-Iowa State money has steamed this line up from the Cyclones laying 5.5 points on the opener to the current price.

Also, one of the squarest bets in college football is taking points with a ranked team visiting an unranked conference opponent. Oddsmakers have made loot for years because bettors overvalue ranked teams.

But, for me, it’s either OKLAHOMA STATE +7.5 (-120) or nothing.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 46.5 (-105) for 1 unit because both defenses are nasty and a vast majority of the market is backing the Over.

Oklahoma State’s defensive front ranks fifth in line yards allowed per snap and Iowa State’s ranks 30th. But Oklahoma State’s offensive line ranks 115th in line yards per snap and Iowa State’s is 71st.

On top of that, roughly three-fourths of the action is on the Over (according to Pregame.com), but this total opened at 50.5. That type of “reverse line movement” tells me that oddsmakers want more pro-Over wagers. Let’s fade the market and get on the same side as the House.
