Why Bet On Oklahoma State?
Why should you bet on the Cowboys in this Week 7 Big 12 battle? There are a few great reasons starting with the fact that the Cowboys have a downright explosive offense that averages a stellar 44.0 points per game to rank 12th nationally in scoring while K-State averages half of that figure (22.0 ppg). Then, there’s the fact that Oklahoma State will be highly-motivated after losing to Iowa State 48-42 a home last weekend despite being a 10-point favorite. Last but not least, there’s the always popular ‘revenge’ factor going for the Cowboys, seeing as how they lost to Kansas State 45-40 at home last season.
