Trends

Oklahoma State is 7-1 ATS in their last 8 home games and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games against a team with a losing road record while the under is 7-0 in their last 7 Saturday games.
Pick
I’m backing the under in this game. I just don’t trust Ole Miss’ offense to begin with and now they have to go up against a rock solid Oklahoma State defense in a hostile environment at Gallagher-Iba. On the other side, the Cowboys don’t really tend to push the pace all that much and tend to try to win games with their strong defense and I think this game is no different. A first to 60 or even 65 wins kind of game wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest here so give me the under.
