Oklahoma State vs TCU Prediction

The current betting odds have Oklahoma State listed as a 3.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Oklahoma State is off to a great undefeated start this season and they have put themselves in a great position to win the conference with their strong start. They have already won games over other contenders like Baylor and they have a chance to knock another one off with a win against TCU here. TCU is also off to a great undefeated start this season under their new head coach Sonny Dykes, but he is still in his 1st year as coach and they were very close to blowing last week's game against Kansas. Oklahoma State has had a great program for years as they went to the Big 12 Championship last year losing it in the finals, but they are going to be motivated to get back there this year especially after beating the team that beat them in that title game. Oklahoma State has a good defense and a good offense, and even if they do not win this game it will be very close and could be decided by a field goal. Oklahoma State is also a live dog in this game though and the value is on them here. The best way to place a bet here is on Oklahoma State to cover the spread in this game.
