Oklahoma State at Texas picks and predictions
Prediction
Texas 70, Oklahoma State 63
Moneyline
AVOID.
Texas is 11-1 at home while Oklahoma State is 2-4 on the road. These odds are justified, but they are also unplayable.
Against the spread
LEAN OKLAHOMA STATE +8.5 (-115).
The Cowboys have been better at covering as of late, beating a top-15 Iowa State at home and downing Oklahoma the game prior. They have covered 6 of their last 9. Despite being solid at home, Texas has failed to cover its last 4 home games, 3 of which were against Big 12 opponents.
Texas is just 5-7 ATS at home this season while Oklahoma State is 3-3 ATS on the road. Oklahoma State has the edge in conference play as well as it is 4-3 ATS compared to Texas’ 2-5 ATS.
Put it all together and back OKLAHOMA STATE +8.5 (-115).
Over/Under
BET UNDER 135.5 (-110).
Oklahoma State has a dominant defense, but has a struggling road attack. It has scored only 58 and 57 points in its last 2 road matches against Baylor and Kansas State. It has gone Under the projected total in 6 of its last 7 games.
Texas is 2-2-1 O/U in its last 5 games, scoring more than 72 in just 2 of its last 5. Texas is 4-2-1 O/U in conference games while Oklahoma State is 1-6 O/U.
Given the Cowboys struggles offensively on the road and strength defensively, back the UNDER 135.5 (-110).
