Cyclones at Sooners Prediction
The top sportsbooks are putting the line as Oklahoma being a favorite by over a field goal but under a touchdown here at home. However, the Cyclones are not dealing with injuries while the Sooners are banged up a little bit. Caleb Williams had a bad performance as he had thrown for a pair of interceptions in his last game without a touchdown while Brock Purdy had seven touchdowns and two interceptions in his previous five games under center. The Iowa State Cyclones are 5-1 against the spread in their last six games so go with them to cover getting a few points and pull off the upset.
