Pick
I’m leaning towards the Sooners here, but this is probably a game I’d much rather watch than bet as these rivalry games can be rather tricky and the old adage of throwing records and trends out the window can hold true. That being said, Oklahoma State’s offense has fallen off of a cliff in recent games, and I don’t expect the Cowboys to have a ton of success against the Sooners’ defense, but the same can be said vice versa. That’s why I’ll want the points in my back pocket as I could see this game coming down to which team has the final possession in the game. Give me the Sooners and the points.
