Oklahoma is entering this game with a 4-0 record overall and they have a 1-0 record in their conference games too. They are 2-0 in their home games, 2-0 in their road games, and they are also 0-0 in their neutral site games this season, but they will be at home for this game. They won their last game against Cincinnati 20-6. Dillon Gabriel was the starting QB and he completed 26/38 passes for 322 passing yards, 1 touchdown, and 0 interceptions.

The current betting odds have Oklahoma listed as a 20 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Oklahoma has looked really good in their games this season as they are 4-0 and have a point to prove after the bad season they had last year. Their offense is a lot better than it was last season and their defense has also been really good as they are not giving up many points at all. Iowa State has also been a lot better than expected this season after what happened to them in the off-season but they still don't have the talent to keep up with a team like Oklahoma who is looking to win the Big 12 one last time before going to the SEC. Iowa State is also going to be on the road in this game while Oklahoma has been really strong in their home games. Oklahoma will put up a ton of points on this Iowa State defense and ISU won't have the talent to come back in this game. The best way to place a bet here is on Oklahoma to cover the spread in this game.

“I just thought Rocco played an incredible game, his efficiency, the way he threw the football.” - Matt Campbell after his team’s win against OK State in their last game.

“Dillon was able to extend a couple plays. There are some designed plays we run for him too. There was a speed option. He ran a quarterback draw which he did a really nice job. It is always good to have that. It is what we call a plus-one run game.” - Brent Venables after his team’s win against Cincinnati in their last game.
