Oklahoma State vs BYU Best Bet: Oklahoma State +9.5

While the Cowboys enter this matchup as the underdogs, this game could be much closer than people anticipate. Oklahoma State’s 3-3 record doesn’t tell the whole story for the talented team, which started 3-0 but has tumbled down on a three-game losing streak. By no means does this mean Oklahoma State will pull off the upset, but losing by less than 10 points seems plausible.

Oklahoma State vs BYU Best Total Bet: Over 52.5

BYU can score quickly, and Oklahoma State’s offense has shown the ability to do the same in spurts. The Cougars alone could account for over half the set total, but with the Cowboys hoping to keep their season alive for bowl eligibility, they could put up a decent fight. That said, a final score of 34-27 seems plausible. 

Oklahoma State Best Player Bet: De’Zhaun Stribling Any Time Touchdown +180

De’Zhaun Stribling has emerged in his second season with the Cowboys. The Oklahoma State playmaker has 556 receiving yards and four touchdowns and continues to be the top option in the offense. For Oklahoma State to stay in this matchup, they’ll likely need to utilize the passing game, which means Stribling has an excellent chance to find the endzone before the game ends.

BYU Best Player Bet: Chase Roberts 60+ Receiving Yards +118

Chase Roberts has been a key piece to the Cougars offense to start the year. The BYU wideout leads all pass catchers with 397 receiving yards and three touchdowns. The junior has passed the 60-yard mark in three of the team’s six matchups this season. And with Oklahoma State’s struggles in the secondary, Roberts could be in line for a big day.
