Boone Pickens Stadium in Stillwater is where it all takes place, with FOX providing the telecast. DraftKings has the Cowboys favored by 3½ with 58½ for the scoreboard target.
Following an exhausting, tough loss to Oklahoma that went four overtimes, Texas took a week off before bouncing Baylor by a 27-16 count. It was the Longhorns’ best showing on defense in their four conference contests. Oklahoma State kept its perfect season intact with a 24-21 over Iowa State, the Cowboys covering the NCAA football odds for a third consecutive game.
Both sides are dealing with one key injury, Texas listing wide receiver Jordan Whittington as ‘out indefinitely’ due to an abdominal injury. The freshman missed last week after hauling in 10 passes in the loss to Oklahoma. The Cowboys are expected to be without defensive end Tyren Irby following a leg injury in the win over Iowa State.
Texas vs Oklahoma State Pick:
The Longhorns’ 36-30 win a year ago was a thrilling way for both teams to open their conference schedules. It also stopped a 4-year Oklahoma State winning streak in the rivalry, and the Cowboys have still won seven of the last 10. This one comes down to who runs the football best, or who stops the other team from running. I smell an outright upset, with Oklahoma State looking ahead to games against K-State and OU on deck, and will gladly take Texas and the points for my college football pick.
