The Oklahoma State Cowboys (2-0) pay a visit to the Tulsa Golden Hurricane (1-1) Saturday. Kickoff from Chapman Stadium is set for noon ET (ESPN 2). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds around the Oklahoma State vs. Tulsa odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
Oklahoma State escaped with a 39-31 win in 2OT vs. Arkansas last Saturday but failed to cover as a 10-point home favorite. The Cowboys were out-gained 648-385 in total yards but forced 3 turnovers to complete the comeback after trailing 21-7 at the half. Oklahoma State is No. 14 in the US LBM Coaches Poll.
Tulsa suffered a 28-24 loss at the Arkansas State Red Wolves Saturday but covered as a 9-point underdog. The Golden Hurricane held a 17-7 lead going into half but would come out and allow 3 touchdowns in the 3rd quarter while scoring only 1 themselves. Neither team would score in the final quarter.

Oklahoma State at Tulsa picks and predictions
Prediction
Oklahoma State 42, Tulsa 24
Moneyline
PASS.
The Cowboys (-1000) will pick up the win, but the juice is set far too heavy to risk betting on. Bet on the spread and/or total instead.
Against the spread
BET OKLAHOMA STATE -17 (-115).
Oklahoma State is simply the much better team and will be able to take a lead here early. With RB Ollie Gordon II, the Cowboys will be able to run the air out of the ball to chew the clock and keep that commanding lead that will see them cover as heavy favorites.
The Cowboys are also 4-2 ATS in their 6 meetings with Tulsa since 2010.
Over/Under
LEAN OVER 63 (-110).
Tulsa’s defense has not done well as it has allowed 28 points in each of its first 2 games, and with this being its biggest test thus far, I expect that to continue.
Oklahoma State has also proven that its defense will give up both points and yards as it has allowed over 1,000 yards and 51 points in just 2 games to start the season. The Over has also hit in each of the Cowboys’ 2 games this year.
This is a lean because an Over number of 63 is a bit high, especially when one team is so much better than the other.
