CBS Sports: Take Oklahoma State with the points vs. Texas
Jerry Palm writes: "I may be making the same mistake two weeks in a row by picking the higher-ranked team despite it being an underdog. At least this week, the underdog is also at home. The Cowboys are my pick to win the Big 12, and victories in games like this are vital to that cause."
Heartland College Sports: Texas 34, Oklahoma State 28
Bryan Clinton writes: "This game feels like a spot for Texas to take off and mark themselves as one of the favorites in the Big 12, and I think they’ll do just that. Oklahoma State’s defense has struggled mightily against the pass this season, ranking 126th nationally by allowing 301 passing yards per game. Quinn Ewers and company could light it up in Stillwater, but Oklahoma State is too good to let that separate them from having a chance at winning this game."
Betsperts: Go with Oklahoma State with the points against Texas
Matt Rooney writes: "Our pick to win this game is Texas, and we predict that Oklahoma State will cover the spread (Texas -6.5). Finally, we see the scoring in this one going over the posted total of 62 points."
Odds Checker: Texas will cover vs. Oklahoma State
Jason Radowitz writes: "The main issue is tackling for Oklahoma State. They're not wrapping up guys on their first try. Those averages on defense will eventually go down, but it's not going to get any easier defensively going up against Ewers. Ewers can throw for 300 yards, despite not having his best game against Iowa State last week. Therefore, give me Texas against the spread."
Top Bet: Oklahoma State 28, Texas 27
It writes: "Oklahoma State is 6-3-1 against the spread in its last 10 games as the home team."
ATS.IO: Go with Oklahoma State with the points at home vs. Texas
