Oklahoma State vs. Tulsa betting preview
Odds: Cowboys -11, over/under 54.5
Tulsa got its season off to a strong start with a 35-7 victory against Abilene Christian, where the Wildcats were held off the scoreboard until the fourth quarter. Sophomore quarterback Kirk Francis threw for 218 yards with two touchdowns in that game, but has been sidelined with a concussion he sustained in Week 2 against New Mexico. Freshman Baylor Hayes hasn’t played up to the same level, and Tulsa’s defense has struggled to pick up the slack by allowing 337.3 yards per game.
Oklahoma State, meanwhile, has looked like two different teams through two games this season. Mike Gundy’s men played a defense-first game in their 27-7 season-opening win against Tennessee-Martin, but failed to put up a fight the following week against Oregon. One constant is that quarterback Zane Flores has yet to throw a touchdown pass, and he was held to 67 yards with two interceptions by an elite Ducks defense.

Model’s Tulsa vs. Oklahoma State prediction, picks
The Cowboys have yet to cover the spread this season, and were 3-9-0 against the spread last season. However, the model is leaning on them rebounding out of the break against a Tulsa side missing its starting quarterback, especially before their Big 12 season-opener against Baylor in Week 5. The SportsLine model projects Oklahoma State will cover the spread in 64% of simulations.
