The current betting odds have BYU listed as a 6.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. BYU has looked good in their games this season with their 17-4 record overall and their 5-3 conference record which has them in the top half of the Big 12. They haven't been a great road team though with their 2-2 road record this year. Meanwhile, Oklahoma State has looked good in their games this season with their 15-6 record overall, but their 3-5 conference record has them in the bottom half of the Big 12. They have looked great on their home court though with their 12-2 home record this season. Neither team has looked great lately with both being 2-3 in their last 5 games. Oklahoma State is off a big road win over Utah in their last one, but that win snapped a losing streak that they were on as they have struggled a lot more since starting the conference schedule. They had a really easy schedule to start the year in the preseason and it is starting to show now as they haven't been that competitive in their games against the top opponents in the conference. BYU hasn't looked any better lately as they are off a loss to Kansas in their last one and have won 2 games in a row now, but both of those losses were against 2 of the strongest teams in the Big 12, Arizona and Kansas. BYU is going to be desperate to bounce back after how bad they have looked in their last 2 games and they still have a lot more talent on their side as they are one of the best teams in the nation. Oklahoma State has been able to beat up on bad opponents all year, but they have floundered in these big games all season, so look for BYU to use this as a get right game after 2 bad ones. The best way to place a bet here is on BYU to cover the spread in this game.
