Oklahoma-Oklahoma State: How Each Team Fares Against the Spread

Oklahoma State travels to Norman on Saturday, where for the fourth time in Bedlam history it will feature both teams in the top 10 of the rankings. The Cowboys opened up as two-touchdown underdogs, and according to Vegas Insider, are currently considered 11-point dogs in the Big 12 title game.

For gambling purposes, what does that mean, and how does OSU and OU stack up in their recent track record against the spread? Well, recent history doesn’t bode well. Here’s a breakdown of seven key statistics to know with how each team fares against the spread, all odds and statistics from oddsshark.com.
