The current betting odds have Oklahoma State listed as a 4.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Oklahoma State has looked really good in their games this season with their 3-1 record overall, but they are 0-1 in their conference games, coming off a loss in their last one. Meanwhile, Kansas State has also looked good in their games this season with their 3-1 record overall, but they are also 0-1 in conference play and just like OK State, they are coming off a loss in their last one. Both of these teams are going to be looking to bounce back after their conference losses and both teams were expected to be threats in the Big 12 this season so don't expect either side to go down without a fight in this one. Kansas State has shown in their few games that their defense will give up points, and Oklahoma State has a really good passing game to put those points on the board here. Kansas State does have a good offense themselves and Oklahoma State has also shown that they are going to give up points too, but Kansas State also likes to keep their offense on the ground and that is going to make it tough for them to pull away here. Both of these teams are looking to bounce back and Oklahoma State has the offense to keep their team in this game. Whoever wins this one, it is bound to be a closer game decided by a field goal. The best way to place a bet here is on Oklahoma State to cover the spread in this game.
