Matchup Info

Texas Longhorns
When thinking about the Texas Longhorns, the first thing that’s always going to jump to mind to us is how good this team is offensively when Quinn Ewers is playing quarterback.
He is coming off a game against Oklahoma where he threw for 289 yards and four touchdowns en route to a 49-0 victory over the Sooners.
High-level Team
Texas had a real opportunity of beating some high-level teams this year, including the University of Alabama, who they lost to by 1 point.
They actually were leading in the fourth quarter, but Alabama ended up coming back and outscored them by four points in the quarter to win the game.
If Texas can continue doing what they’ve been able to do this year on both sides of the football, they can truly beat anybody in the country at any given moment.
Key Injuries
It’s uncertain at the moment if there are any key injuries, as the injury report for this game has not yet been announced.
Before making your bets, make sure to find the injury report for both teams as NCAAF picks could be different due to that.
Betting Trends to Know
The Texas Longhorns are going to be coming into this game as an insanely profitable team.
They’re currently 5-2 against the spread, and that’s everything that we likely are going to need to know for our Texas vs Oklahoma State picks.
Oklahoma State Cowboys
Oklahoma State Cowboys is a very scary football team this year, and that’s because of what they do on the offensive side of the ball.
They only have one loss this year, and that’s against the number eight-ranked Texas Christian University Horned Frogs in their most recent game.
They ended up losing this game in double overtime by 3 points as TCU scored a touchdown after Oklahoma State took the field goal.
Quarterback Spencer Sanders has been playing well this season, but he could potentially be out in this game due to a shoulder injury.
NCAAF Odds
This is another thing that we’re going to be factoring in and as we can see with the college football odds, so are the books.
At the end of the day, Oklahoma State still has a very good offense even without him and whoever has to play quarterback is going to step up and make plays for them.
Their run game is also elite as they had two players rush for more than 65 yards in their most recent game.
Key Injuries
Besides the possibility of Spencer Sanders not playing in this game, there aren’t any other injuries that we have known about just yet.
Betting Trends to Know
Oklahoma State has also been an insanely profitable team this year, as they’re currently 4-2 against the spread.
At home games, they currently sit at 4-0. They have hit the over five times out of six games during the season, and that could be another thing that we think about for this bet.
Texas vs. Oklahoma State Odds
The odds coming into this game are somewhat interesting. In my opinion, I think the books are trying to trap us a bit here.
Texas is going to be giving 6.5 points on the road and they’re going to be coming in as a somewhat heavy favorite on the money line at – 2:40.
The over/under is a bit high, but we also have to remember that both of these teams have arguably the best offenses in the entire country. The over/under is currently slotted at 61. Keep reading for our Texas vs Oklahoma State picks.
Texas Longhorns vs. Oklahoma State Cowboys Betting Picks
The best money line bet in this game would likely be taking Oklahoma State +200. The college football standings say that they are better than Texas, but with the injury to their quarterback, the books are giving us some money here. Sprinkling a couple of bucks on that money line isn’t a bad idea.
Although Texas and Oklahoma State both have two of the best offenses in the entire country, the under is likely going to be the best bet in this game.
That means if the game goes a combined under 61 points, you would win your bet at -110 odds.
My favorite bet of the day on the spread would be taking Oklahoma State + 6.5. With how inconsistent Texas has shown to be at random parts throughout games, it feels safe taking Oklahoma State with 6.5 points.
Texas Longhorns vs. Oklahoma State Cowboys Score Prediction
I think we see somewhat of a shootout here, but it’s just under the 60.5 points. My final score prediction for this game and my Texas vs Oklahoma State picks would be about 35-24.
I think that Oklahoma state is actually going to come out and dominate this one because of what they can do on the defensive side of the football when they’re on their game.
They’re coming off two disappointing performances defensively, so I expect them to bounce back and try to figure this thing out.
NCAAF Pick: OK State +6.5 (-110)
