I thought these two would both be 8-0 coming into this game however Iowa State has dropped three games and Oklahoma is coming off of its first loss. The Cyclones defense ranks No. 23 in yards per play and Oklahoma'a ranks No. 38. Iowa State's offense ranks No. 11 and Oklahoma is No. 1 in yards per play. There will be plenty of fireworks with not as much on the line as once was expected. Take the Over.
Even with a bye week to recover, Oklahoma might not be able to muster sufficient energy after likely being bumped from the playoff picture with a loss to Kansas State. Iowa State’s veteran players will not be cowed over playing in Norman. The Cyclones won there straight-up in 2017. QB Brock Purdy is the third-most prolific passer in FBS.
Oklahoma has one of the most explosive offenses no matter where it plays, but it always seems to have a bit more when playing at home. Since Lincoln Riley took over from Bob Stoops, the Over has gone 13-3-1 in Oklahoma's home games. They put on a show for the home crowd, and Iowa State will find the end zone more than a few times itself.
