Oklahoma State at Oklahoma picks and predictions
Prediction
Oklahoma 70, Oklahoma State 64
Moneyline
Oklahoma (-750) will cost you 7½ times your potential return, and that's too much risk and not enough reward. It's especially risky since the Sooners haven't been playing very good basketball lately, too.
However, while Oklahoma State (+520) has dominated this series in recent seasons, this team isn't very good this year. It cannot be trusted straight up.
PASS.
Against the spread
OKLAHOMA STATE +11.5 (-110) is a strong play catching almost a dozen points. Again, the Cowboys are a solid 7-0-1 ATS in the past 8 in the series. The Cowboys are also 4-2 ATS in the past 6 games, including 2-1 ATS in that span when catching 9 or more points.
Oklahoma -11.5 (-110) is 1-2 ATS in the past 3 games as a double-digit favorite while going just 5-8 ATS across the previous 13 contests.

Over/Under
UNDER 141.5 (-110) is worth a look in this battle of the Sooner state.
The total has gone low in 5 of the past 7 games for the Sooners while going 5-1 in the past 6 games in Norman. Oklahoma's defense is the reason for the Under results. It ranks 44th in the nation with just 66.3 PPG allowed, and the Sooners limit the opposition to 40.3% field-goal percentage and 28.3% from behind the 3-point line.
The Under has cashed in 3 of the past 5 games for the Cowboys, and this team has managed just 70.8 PPG to rank 268th in the nation offensively.
