Oklahoma State is 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 road games and 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games following an ATS win while the over is 5-1 in their last 6 games following a loss. Oklahoma is 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games against a team with a losing record and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a loss while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 games against a team with a losing record.

I get why you’d look at Oklahoma at home here, but the Sooners haven’t played all that well if we’re being honest and Oklahoma State’s won 4 straight against their in-state rivals. I just think this is a spot where you take the points and kick back and watch a great game that I think it a two-point game either way.
