Oklahoma State vs Arizona Prediction
The Oklahoma State Cowboys will put up a fight at home, where seven of their 10 wins have come this season. However, Oklahoma State has lost four of its last six games and has been held to 62 or fewer points in three of those four losses. Oklahoma State is also 5-12 ATS on the season. The Arizona Wildcats aren’t the same talented team they’ve been in past years, but there’s enough on both sides of the floor to give a struggling Oklahoma State team fits. It’s hard to get behind Oklahoma State in its current form and from a betting perspective given the brutal ATS record. Give me Arizona in a double-digit road victory.
