Iowa State enters this game as a ranked team and they have been having a really good season with their 17-10 record overall. They are only 8-7 in their conference games but that is one of the better records in the Big 12 this season and they have been a really good home team anyway as they are 13-1 in their home games this year. Oklahoma has been terrible this season as they enter this game with a losing 13-15 record overall but they are also 3-12 in their conference games making them the worst team in the Big 12 right now. They have also been terrible in their road games as they are 1-7 and they have no momentum coming into this with 2 losses in a row now. Oklahoma has been a bad team in the Big 12 all year and they just haven't been able to get out of their season long slump while Iowa State has been really good and continues to find ways to win games whether they be at home or in a road game. The best way to place a bet here is on Iowa State to cover the spread in this game.

"I thought we did a good job of forcing turnovers early and creating some offense early, but they weren’t playing up on a couple of the guys. They were just sagging in and daring them to shoot. You’ve got to knock some of those downs." - Porter Moser after his team’s loss against Texas Tech in their last game. 

“Their pressure was terrific in that first half. It got away from us quick.” - T.J. Otzelberger after his team’s loss against Texas in their last game.
