Oklahoma at Oklahoma State odds, picks and predictions
The Oklahoma Sooners (7-1, 4-1 Big 12) and Oklahoma State Cowboys (6-2, 4-1) meet Saturday at Boone Pickens Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET (ABC). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's lines around the Oklahoma vs. Oklahoma State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
We get the final meeting of the "Bedlam" rivalry, at least for the immediate future, as Oklahoma is off to the SEC in 2024. There are no future scheduled meetings between these rivals.
The Sooners lead the all-time series 91-19-7, including a 28-13 win in Norman last season. While OU has won 7 of the past 8 in the series, OSU won the most recent meeting in Stillwater by a 37-33 score on Nov. 27, 2021.
Oklahoma was stunned at Kansas last week, falling 38-33 as a 7-point favorite with the Over (66.5) cashing. After opening 6-0 against the spread (ATS), Oklahoma has failed to cover in the past 2 games.
Oklahoma State opened the season at 2-2 straight up (SU) and 1-3 ATS in 4 games, but the Cowboys have come alive with 4 straight wins and covers. The offense has been a huge part of the resurgence, going for 29 or more points in each of the past 4 outings, cashing the Over in 3 straight.

Oklahoma at Oklahoma State picks and predictions
Prediction
Oklahoma 39, Oklahoma State 30
Moneyline
Both of these teams are going to want to close this rivalry, or at least temporarily end it, with a victory. Oklahoma State (+190) has been playing great football lately, but this is a defense which struggles mightily. The Cowboys have allowed 409.3 total yards per game, and 170.4 rushing yards per contest, and that's what makes OSU too risky.
However, you can't play Oklahoma (-250), having to risk 2½ times your potential return, either. Look to the line instead.
PASS.
Against the spread
OKLAHOMA -6 (-110) likely saw its playoff and national championship hopes go up in smoke in Lawrence last week, but it is very much alive for a conference championship and major bowl game.
While the Sooners have failed to cover the past 2, they're a healthy 6-2 ATS overall. And I know Oklahoma State +6 (-110) is playing much better football lately, but it's hard to forget this is a team which has lost at home against South Alabama by a 33-7 score, too.
Oklahoma has dominated the series, too, going 3-0-1 ATS in the past 4 meetings, and 6-1-1 ATS in the previous 8 installments.
Over/Under
OVER 61.5 (-110) is the lean, but go lightly.
Lately, it's all about the Over for both sides. The Over has cashed in 3 straight games for Oklahoma State, averaging 44.0 PPG during the span. And the defense has allowed 32 or more points in 2 of the past 3 outings and 4 of the past 6 contests.
For Oklahoma, the Over is 3-1 in the past 4 outings, going for 31 or more points in each game. And the defense has coughed up 32.3 PPG during the stretch, so the scoreboard operator at Boone Pickens better limber up. He/she is going to be busy.
