A best bet for Saturday’s Oklahoma State-Oklahoma matchup. The Sooners are large home favorites despite their poor season.

In this story:

This may be the last meeting in Norman for these two ancient rivals, as Oklahoma makes plans for its exit from the Big 12 for the SEC.

The Bedlam Series has been dominated by Oklahoma, but Oklahoma State won a big one last year and the point spread this year seems a bit off.

No. 24 Oklahoma State is more than a touchdown underdog against an Oklahoma squad that could be headed to the program’s first losing season since 1998.

Oklahoma holds a 90-19-7 record in the Bedlam Series and hasn’t lost back-to-back games in the rivalry since 2001-02.

Let’s dive into this game for one of this week’s Forde Four bets. You can also find picks for USC-UCLA, Utah-Oregon and Akron-Buffalo.

Yes, the Pokes are banged up and played two brutal games back-to-back earlier this month, being routed by both Kansas State and Kansas. But they regrouped last week to beat Iowa State and got quarterback Spencer Sanders back from injury for that one. He’s already said there is nothing that will prevent him from playing this week.

Oklahoma, meanwhile, is coming off consecutive losses to Baylor and West Virginia, dropping to 2-5 in the Big 12. The Sooners will want to run Eric Gray at a vulnerable Oklahoma State defense, so I’d expect to see the Pokes load up on Gray and make quarterback Dillon Gabriel beat them. He hasn’t been great the past three games.

BET: Oklahoma State +7.5
