Spread Pick for UCF vs. Oklahoma State

  • UCF Knights -14 (4 units)

UCF is slightly below average in scoring at 25.4 points per game, but has the 50th-best running game, averaging 172.9 yards per game, and will face an Oklahoma State defense that is 90th in the nation against the run, allowing 163.3 yards per game. Oklahoma State is 131st out of 136 in points allowed at 36.3 per game, while on the other side of the ball, the Cowboys are 134th or second from the bottom in scoring, averaging only 14.3 points per game. Oklahoma State has had a revolving door of quarterbacks this season, and that has produced zero continuity from one week to the next. The Cowboys have covered the spread in just three of the last 15 games. UCF has a solid defense, ranking 48th in points allowed and is 19th in passing yards allowed.

Over/Under Pick for UCF vs. Oklahoma State

  • Over 48.5 (4 units)

The total has finished over in three of UCF’s last four games. The total has finished over in three of Oklahoma State's last five games. While Oklahoma State has problems scoring, the Cowboys are one of the worst in points allowed at 36.3 points (131st) per game. Oklahoma State may not score many points, but it will certainly give up plenty to UCF.
