All Pokes Staff Score Predictions: Oklahoma State vs. Cincinnati

What does the All Pokes staff think will happen as Oklahoma State faces Cincinnati at home?

The Oklahoma State Cowboys are hosting the Cincinnati Bearcats for homecoming. All things considered, it's a good time for a homecoming matchup. The Cowboys are on a three-game winning streak and are seven-point favorites over Cincinnati.

The homecoming crowd is expected to be incredible as the Cowboys fans have really shown up to Boone Pickens Stadium all season, and Mike Gundy and the players have realized it.

Here is how the All Pokes staff predicts the matchup to go.

Oklahoma State gets a homecoming win, but it won’t be easy. Cincinnati will keep the game close as OSU’s offense will struggle to keep its recent success going.

But Ollie Gordon and Alex Hale will be enough to get the Cowboys a win. This one feels like a game that ends with a game-clinching interception by the Cowboys’ defense.

This will be a challenge for Oklahoma State and its offensive line. Cincinnati comes in with 17 sacks, which is good for 46th in the country. The Bearcats are also ranked 18th in rushing defense and 46th in total defense. This is by far the best defensive line OSU has faced this season.

Ollie Gordon is going to have to keep doing what he has been doing. Gordon has four straight 100-yard games, including 282 in his last game against West Virginia. Cincinnati has been inconsistent at times this season with stopping the run during games. Gordon will continue his stellar season so far and the Pokes will take this one on homecoming.

OSU's offense is meshing well as of late, especially in the run game, it should be a big day for the Pokes offensively.

Even with a disruptive front seven defensively, Cincinnati will struggle with the Cowboys' offense. However, with Oklahoma State taking on Oklahoma in a week, Cincinnati may be able to sneak up on the Cowboys in this one.

While the Cowboys will come out on top, it'll end up being too close for comfort. With a home crowd behind them and Ollie Gordon making big plays, the Cowboys will come out on top.
