Oklahoma State at Oklahoma College Football Odds

Written November 28, 2009 by Kyle Hunter

The Oklahoma Sooners have typically been the hunted team in this rivalry over the last few years, but this year it will be the Cowboys of Oklahoma State playing for a chance at their first BCS berth in school history. Quarterback Zac Robinson is still listed as questionable from a concussion a couple weeks ago, but all reports suggest he will play in this pivotal game for the team. This intrastate rivalry is often called “Bedlam” because the winner of the game receives a Bedlam bell, and even more importantly, bragging rights for the next year.

The Oklahoma State Cowboys have gone 9-2 to this point and they are looking to make school history, but they must get past their rival. Zac Robinson should be playing and the Cowboys will need him at his best in this one. Robinson is one of the best quarterbacks around when healthy, because of his great ability to run or throw the football with great efficiency. Robinson is far from a one man show, since Keith Toston has emerged as a great threat in the backfield. Toston has 1,128 yards and 11 touchdowns on the season. Kendall Hunter is also starting to get healthy and he gives them another weapon in the backfield. Perrish Cox provides a spark as one of the top return men in the Big 12. The defense of Oklahoma State is much improved from a year ago, and they are allowing just 21 points per game and only 83 yards per game on the ground.

The Oklahoma Sooners had high hopes for this season, but injuries and disappointing losses have derailed their season. No doubt the goal of this team now is to ruin their rival’s chance at history. Landry Jones has come in and done a nice job at quarterback, replacing the injured Sam Bradford. Jones is a freshman who has been thrown into the fire and has thrown 13 interceptions, but he has 2,556 yards passing and 23 touchdowns as well. The Sooners have two very talented backs in DeMarco Murray and Chris Brown, but the running game hasn’t worked as expected this year. Neither rusher averages more than 4.5 yards per carry and the team ranks pretty low in rushing yards per game at just 140. The defense of Oklahoma has been great most of the season, allowing just 14.7 points per game. Inconsistency has plagued the team as a whole, but they are still capable of beating top ranked teams.

The college football betting lines show Oklahoma as a 7.5 point home favorite over #12 Oklahoma State. The posted total is set at 49 points. When making those football predictionsthis weekend consider these two trends: The under is 10-2 in Okahoma’s last 12 home games and the home team is 8-3 against the spread in the last 11 Bedlam meetings.

The Cowboys are the ranked team with a target on their chest, but they are not the favorite. Oklahoma State needs a great game out of Zac Robinson to be able to put up points on this tough Oklahoma defense. On the other side of the ball, Oklahoma State needs to make the Sooners one dimensional and force Jones to beat them by himself. This should be a good one!
