BYU at Oklahoma State picks and predictions
Prediction
BYU 81, Oklahoma State 72
Moneyline
BYU (-245) averages 83.4 points per game. The Cougars are 2-4 on the road this season. They are 4-1 in their last 5 conference games.
The Cowboys are 9-5 at home this season. However, they have reached 70 points twice in the last 10 games. That won't cut it against BYU.
But having to risk more than twice your potential profit isn't worth it.
PASS.
Against the spread
BYU did not cover the spread in its last 3 games and is 3-7 ATS in the last 10.
The Cowboys, though, are only 9-14-1 ATS overall this season. Five of their last 8 losses have been by 7 or more points.
BYU's superior firepower will set the tone.
BET BYU -6.5 (-102).
