Prediction
Oklahoma State is the short favorite in this matchup, but simply backing them to win looks to be the best option. This is true even though Utah Utes’ starting quarterback Cam Rising is now expected to play as he may be less than 100%.
Oklahoma State also has an elite running back, a quarterback who can sling it all over the field, a solid defense, and the home crowd behind them. For that reason, backing Oklahoma State to win will be our best bet.
Final Pick
Oklahoma State Cowboys ML (-135)
