Trends

North Texas is 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games following a win and 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games following an ATS win while the over is 7-2-1 in their last 10 games following a win. Oklahoma State is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games and 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 games overall while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 games overall.

Pick

I’m leaning towards the under here. This should be a pretty good game, but these are still two solid defensive units and two teams that don’t necessarily play a fast-paced style, especially the Mean Green, who are still the slowest-paced offensive unit in the country. I’ll back the under in this one.
