Oklahoma State at UCF picks and predictions
Prediction
Oklahoma State 39, UCF 30
Moneyline
OKLAHOMA STATE (-140) is a solid play straight up, if you don't want to mess around with the small amount of points. The Cowboys have been 1 of the hottest teams in the nation, with 5 straight wins and covers, and the Knights are having a very difficult time adjusting to big-boy football in the Big 12, with its lone win over fellow league-newcomer Cincinnati.
Against the spread
OKLAHOMA STATE -2.5 (-115) has cashed in 5 straight games, all inside the Big 12 conference, including victories over ranked teams Kansas and Oklahoma. It is playing with a lot of confidence right now, and the Cowboys are a good bet to go down to Orlando and score another victory, staying in the hunt for one of the 2 Big 12 Championship Game spots.
UCF +2.5 (-105) just hasn't been able to tick off covers, and it isn't likely to win outright and cool off the Cowboys.
Over/Under
OVER 65.5 (-110) is the play, but expect it to take well into the 4th quarter to get it done.
The total has gone Over in 3 of the past 4 games for Oklahoma State, including both conference road games to date. The Cowboys are averaging 37.5 PPG in 2 road Big 12 outings while yielding 34.0 PPG.
At home, UCF has cashed the Over at a 4-0 clip this season, averaging 31.5 PPG in 2 conference tilts, while coughing up 38.5 PPG. The scoreboard operator better be limbered up, because he/she is going to be busy.
