TCU at Oklahoma State: Three things to know
- The Horned Frogs are coming off their most impressive win of the season, a 73-55 victory against Texas A&M at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, in what officially was considered a neutral-site game despite being in TCU’s backyard.
- TCU is 3-4 ATS so far this season, covering its only conference tilt to date. They lost 82-78 at home to Oklahoma but narrowly covered at most shops on a 4.5-point spread as the Over (137.5) connected. The Over is 3-1 in the previous four for the Frogs.
- OK State was also rather impressive last time out, bagging a 67-64 win at Wichita State on Dec. 12 to keep its record unblemished at 6-0 SU. They’re 0-2-1 ATS in the past three, including a push against the Shockers. As a favorite of five or more points in 2020, the Cowboys are just 1-4 ATS.

TCU at Oklahoma State: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Oklahoma State 70, TCU 61
Money line (ML)
Oklahoma State (-225) is unbeaten so far, and it’s a very good possibility that they’ll win. Still, risking more than two times your potential return is just a little more than my personal limit for money lines, which is -180. PASS.
Against the spread (ATS)
OKLAHOMA STATE -5 (-110) is just 1-4 ATS across the past five at home, but they’re 6-2 ATS in the previous eight against winning teams. TCU +5 (-110) is also just 2-8 ATS in the past 10 on the road dating back to last season, and 2-6 ATS in the past eight overall. The home team has connected in nine of the past 13 in this series, too. Back the Cowboys.
Over/Under (O/U)
The UNDER 134.5 (-115) is a good play since TCU has been a pretty good defensive team this season. The Horned Frogs are yielding just 63.7 PPG, and holding the opposition to a 26.9 percent mark from behind the 3-point line.
OK State is averaging 77.3 PPG, and they’re limiting the opposition to 38.1 percent from the field. Defense will prevail in this one, as the Under hits ever so slightly.
