Oklahoma is 7-1 overall this season and they are 4-1 in their conference games after losing to Kansas last week. They haven't looked great in their last few games now but now that they have lost they will be looking to bounce back in this game. Oklahoma State has looked a lot better lately with their 6-2 record overall and their 4-1 conference record, but Oklahoma still has more talent on their team and they will be looking to end this rivalry for the time being with 1 last win by double digits. Oklahoma still has a really good offense that is going to put points up and their defense will be looking to have a better performance after last week. The best way to place a bet here is on Oklahoma to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes
“Turned the ball over, penalties — the timing of all of it was really poor. As I told them, we’re not going to be defined by any one win or any loss. We have a lot still in front of us. But this one hurts. It stings.” - Brent Venables after his team’s loss against Kansas in their last game.
“I like to see players rewarded and the fruits of their labor, and that’s one of them. And it’s good for us. You know, we’ve done it a long time now, so coming from where we were after Game three, I’d say that over the last five weeks, it’s a pretty good accomplishment.” - Mike Gundy after his team’s win against Cincinnati in their last game.
