Among the five games in Week 8 on the collegiate landscape featuring ranked teams squaring off is a Big 12 tilt between No. 20 Texas and No. 11 Oklahoma State.
Texas started the season just 2-2 straight-up (SU) but has won three straight games over West Virginia, Oklahoma and Iowa State, while posting an accompanying 2-1 against the spread (ATS) mark over that stretch.
Despite suffering a 43-40 overtime loss at No. 8 TCU last week, Oklahoma State still covered the betting line of four points. The Cowboys, who are 5-1 SU and 4-2 ATS, are buoyed by the nation’s fourth-best offense (45.3 points per game).
Let’s dive into a game respected money has targeted in Week 8!
