Bets and analysis for Saturday’s No. 11 Texas-No. 20 Oklahoma State game. Texas is a sizable road favorite.
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!

The line has steamed up since opening with Texas as a five-point road favorite over Oklahoma State at SI Sportsbook to Texas now favored by six points.
Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers has thrown seven touchdowns since his return to the lineup. On Saturday, he faces a solid Oklahoma State pass rush that has 17 sacks on the season and is led by senior Brock Martin (four).
The Longhorns possess a star in their backfield in Bijan Robinson. The talented junior, who leads the Big 12 in rushing, ranks eighth in the nation in rushing yards (780) and is tied for fifth in rushing touchdowns (10).
Mike Gundy’s crew, who is led by quarterback Spencer Sanders, has been dynamic on the ground rushing for multiple touchdowns in three of six games this season.
