The Oklahoma State Cowboys have won 12 straight home games and look to make it 13 against the Texas Longhorns. The Cowboys are looking to move back into the top two spots of the Big 12 to make it into the Big 12 championship. The Longhorns have struggled in true road games as they are 1-5 in true road games under Steve Sarkisian. The Cowboys have an elite offense that should be able to put up enough points to beat the Longhorns.
Texas has looked much improved this season, but this is going to be a big test for freshman QB Quinn Ewers. There are also going to be winds greater than 20 miles per hour in Stillwater, which probably favors Texas due to its advantage at running back, but the wind could also force Ewers into a mistake or two. Oklahoma State blew a late lead against TCU last week, and QB Spencer Sanders looks hurt, but the Cowboys are 6-1 at home following a loss since 2017. I think Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy is going to keep this game close. I like the Cowboys to cover.
The No. 11 team in the country is getting +6.5 at home against the No. 20? Who has Texas beaten to deserve that number exactly? The Horns also lost their lone true road game. The Pokes have won every home game by double digits -- they have won 12 straight at home overall -- and it's Homecoming. OSU also has won seven straight after a loss -- it lost a double OT thriller at TCU last week.
