- Utah surged past their in-state rival last week, defeating Utah State by a score of 38-21.
- Oklahoma State smothered Tulsa on Saturday, winning 45-10, and improving to 3-0.
- These two teams last met on October 20, 1945, in a game that Oklahoma State won 46-6.
Utah dodged a bullet recently. After missing all of last year due to injury, QB Cameron Rising nearly went down again. However, it is only a minor injury this time. Rising will be back to lead the Utes past Oklahoma State.
Before Betting on Utah vs Oklahoma State
Utah’s first season back in the Big-12 is off to a solid start. They’re 3-0 with a conference win over Baylor already, and remain the top-ranked team in the conference. They’ll get their first true test in this game against Oklahoma State. The Cowboys rank just two spots behind the Utes and have a defense capable of stymieing Cameron Rising. Utah’s ability to get 4th-quarter defensive stops on the road will be the key factor in this game.

Oklahoma State started 3-0 in non-conference play, toppling a group of inferior opponents. Their schedule immediately picks up this week, with clashes against #12 Utah and #13 Kansas State up next. The Cowboys would emerge as Big-12 favorites and a top-10 team if they managed to win both. Firstly, they need to focus on slowing down Utah’s offense on Saturday. Home field advantage may be the main difference in this matchup.
Utah vs Oklahoma State Offshore Odds
For the first time in 79 years, Utah and Oklahoma State will face off in football. It comes at a time of major stakes, with both squads ranking in the top-15. With the CFP expanding to include 12 teams this season, it is a legitimate possibility for either of these teams to make it. This game is crucial to both their chances. The loser will face a much tougher path to the CFP. Utah may be on the road, but they should topple the Cowboys, 33-27.
