Point Spread: -9.00 | -110.00 Cougars (BYU) (Home)
Result: Loss
Betting Trends: The Cougars have covered the spread in 9 of their last 12 games (+5.70 units/43% ROI) and the Cowboys are 1-4 ATS in their last five games.
BYU has taken the Big 12 by storm, racing out to the conference lead, while OK State has disappointed after starting the season ranked. The Cougars have a stout defense ranked 19th in EPA per play and 28th in success rate, while the Pokes' offense is uninspiring (103rd in success rate, 122nd in EPA per rush and 131st in rushing success rate). With star RB Ollie Gordon struggling to get in gear (less than 80 rushing yards in every game since the season opener) and a QB controversy, the visitors are too out of sort to win or cover against a BYU team seeking revenge for last year's two-OT loss to OSU that cost them a shot at a bowl game.
