Arkansas at Oklahoma State picks and predictions

Prediction

Oklahoma State 35, Arkansas 31

PASS.

The Cowboys should pick up the win here as -300 favorites, but this line is not worth the risk of betting on. Bet on the spread and/or total instead.

BET ARKANSAS +7.5 (-110).

I like the Razorbacks to cover and make this a close game simply because of the power of their offense, which showed its potential in its season opener. While that did come against an inferior opponent, the offensive talent on this squad is undeniable.

Look for Arkansas’ offense to see a lot of success vs. this Cowboys defense en route to making this a very fun game to watch.

BET OVER 62.5 (-110).

Each squad has outstanding offensive talent, and Oklahoma State’s defense showed no signs in the opener of being able to contain an Arkansas offense that looked unstoppable in its season opener. Arkansas’ defense is an unknown, but I don’t expect either squad to be able to stop the other, so the Over is a safe bet here. Each team hit the Over hit in the 1st game.
