Oklahoma State Cowboys vs Oregon Ducks Point Spread Picks

Oklahoma State lost its last nine games of 2024, including 52-0 to No. 25 Colorado. They got a win in the opener at home, but it wasn't impressive. They beat UT Martin, 27-7, as a 26-point favorite. Oklahoma State is on a 5-13 ATS run. Now they fly to No. 6 Oregon. The Ducks are loaded on offense with a defense that can put pressure on the passer. They whipped Montana State, 59-13, last week with 506 yards (253 rushing). Oregon is on an 8-5 ATS run. Oregon has more than enough talent to roll, but OSU coach Mike Gundy added fuel to the fire by taking a shot at Oregon for spending $40 million on players for its 2024 roster on his radio show. Ducks coach Dan Lanning fired back, "I'm sure UT Martin maybe didn't have as much as them last week, and they played, so we'll let it play out." Play Oregon.

This could turn out to be a very entertaining game. We have two teams that are equally powerful on offense ranking #7 and #8 in the country. Both are producing well over 40 ppg. Defensively they are both deep down the ranks at #81 and #87. Each defense is vulnerable to the pass as they rank 109th and 111th out of 120 teams. The Ducks have punished poor defenses all year, toppling the 60-point mark three times. Overall they have scored 54+ in five of their games and closed their season averaging 52 ppg in their last three and 60 ppg in their last two against a couple solid teams in Oregon State and Arizona. The Cowboys offense is good too, having posted five games of 55+ points. In two of their last three games they surrendered 61 to Oklahoma and 56 to Texas Tech. This total may seem high, but the reality is that both these teams are good for 50 against the defense they will play against here. And neither team has shown the capacity to defend a good offense all season. I like this one to go OVER the total.
