Why bet on Baylor versus Oklahoma State?

If not for an overtime loss in Provo against the BYU Cougars, Baylor would be undefeated. In NCAAF Week 4, Baylor marched into Iowa State and upset the Cyclones on the money line. Based on the road win versus Iowa State, it’s obvious the Bears are one of the most well-coached teams in the nation. Baylor takes on the Pokes in Waco, which gives Baylor another advantage.

9-Oklahoma State Cowboys at 16-Baylor Bears Final Betting Prediction

Oklahoma State has played great football but the Pokes couldn’t beat Baylor in last season’s Big 12 Championship so it’s difficult to see Oklahoma State winning on Saturday.

Baylor is a few plays away from being ranked in the top 10, maybe, the top five. The Bears has played excellent football and had BYU on the ropes before losing in overtime.

Blake Shapen remains one of the better quarterbacks in the conference. Shapen completes 69% of his passes and has thrown a single pick to 7 touchdowns.

Also, Baylor coach Dave Aranda’s defense is rocking. The D shuts down the run and allows less than 17 points per game. Oklahoma State hasn’t come close to facing a team as talented as Baylor. Back the home team to win and cover.
