The current betting odds have Iowa State listed as a 9.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Iowa State has looked really good in their games this season with their 21-6 record overall which has them ranked inside the top 25 teams in the country and also ranked as a top 10 team in the nation. They have looked great in the Big 12 this season with their 10-4 conference record which has them right near the top of the Big 12 behind the leader. They have also looked great on their home court this season with their 16-0 home record. Meanwhile, Oklahoma has also looked good in their games this season with their 19-8 record overall but they haven't looked good in the Big 12 with their 7-7 conference record. They are in the middle of the pack right now as they have struggled a lot more against conference opponents this season and they have looked terrible in their road games too with their 3-4 road record. Oklahoma did win their last game on the road but they also barely beat Oklahoma State by 2 points in that game and Oklahoma State has been one of the worst teams in the Big 12 all season. Iowa State has been rolling in their home games all year and they are also the hotter team coming into this one with a 4-1 record in their last 5 games. The best way to place a bet here is on Iowa State to cover the spread in this game.

“I thought the atmosphere was elite. I give credit to Oklahoma State and their fans to make that a great rivalry. I see a world where this isn’t our last Bedlam game.” - Porter Moser after his team’s win against OK State in their last game on Saturday.

“We have a high standard of wanting to play our best and it probably didn't happen for long stretches today. But I look at guys like Tamin and Rob Jones, who've been here and have so much pride. When it's time to get stops and when it's time to separate, they're able to really focus and dig in.” - T.J. Otzelberger after his team’s win against WVU in their last game on Saturday.
