Oklahoma State vs BYU Prediction and Best Bets For 10/18/2024

Provo, UT will be the site of Friday night’s Oklahoma State vs BYU matchup in the Big 12. BYU comes into the game still undefeated and they are favored by 6.5 points, while the total for this game is set at 54.5 points. Here, we break down this matchup with huge implications for the home team as part of our college football picks for Week 8.

Can Oklahoma State Get First Conference Win?

This season has not gone according to plan for the Oklahoma State Cowboys. They are 3-3 overall and 0-3 in the Big 12, losing three straight conference games after a 3-0 non-conference start. Defense has been a major issue for the Cowboys in conference play, as they have allowed 40 points per game over their last two outings against West Virginia and Kansas State. The Cowboys also need more out of running back Ollie Gordon, as he hasn’t scored a rushing touchdown in four games.

BYU Aims to Stay Undefeated This Season

The BYU Cougars are 6-0 overall this season and 3-0 in the Big 12. BYU came out of their bye week firing, beating the Arizona Wildcats 41-19 this past Saturday. The Cougars have scored 34 or more points in four straight games and appear to be a legitimate contender to qualify for the College Football Playoff. But they have to avoid a letdown at home here to keep themselves moving in the right direction in the rankings.

Oklahoma State vs BYU Best Bet

With the way that BYU is playing right now, we have no choice but to lay the points with them in Friday’s Oklahoma State vs BYU matchup. The Cougars are firing on all cylinders on both sides of the ball of late, while Oklahoma State is struggling to find any sort of rhythm in conference play. Look for the Cougars to move to 7-0 for the season and for the hype surrounding that team to get a little louder.
