The Cowboys are 1-6 ATS in their last seven at home and 15-6-1 ATS in their last 22 Saturday games. Oklahoma State is 3-11-1 ATS in their last 15 overall.
Meanwhile, the Sooners are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 road games and 2-5 ATS in the last seven overall. The over is 5-2 in Oklahoma’s last seven after an ATS loss.
PICK: I’m probably going to stay with Oklahoma here. The Sooners are going to need to bounce back after an ugly second half in the TCU game, though. Oklahoma ended up shooting 40.7 percent and getting out-rebounded 42-20. It’s been a rough 2-7 stretch, but generally the Sooners have stayed in range of some tough teams during that time. As for OK State, they’re on a tough run themselves but they’re still scoring pretty well over the last three games. This matchup should be a very competitive one; I like Oklahoma on the cover/win but it’s looking pretty tight.
