Oklahoma State Cowboys vs BYU Cougars prediction
The Oklahoma State Cowboys will have some confidence after beating BYU a few weeks ago and scoring 93 points, but this is a different team now. Oklahoma State has been free-falling these last couple of weeks and has had issues getting stops. The BYU Cougars are also 15-2 SU at the Marriott Center and 18-12 ATS on the season. It’s hard to make a case for the Oklahoma State Cowboys in their current form. The line is thick, but BYU at home is more than capable of blowing the doors off. I’ll lay the points with the Cougars at home.
