Tulsa vs. Oklahoma State picks and predictions
Prediction
Oklahoma State 74, Tulsa 70
Moneyline
PASS.
Tulsa is 0-1 straight up as an underdog of more than 2 points. It isn't worth a play on the moneyline and the value is on the spread here.
Against the spread
LEAN TULSA +6.5 (-110).
Neither team has a great resume so far this season. Tulsa is 1-1 ATS as an underdog, and it is coming off an impressive home win, upsetting the Ramblers by 11.
The Cowboys have been favorites in 6 of 8 games and are 2-4 ATS in those outings. However, they are just 0-2 ATS as favorites of 7.5 or fewer. Oklahoma State has lost 2 straight and isn't playing at a high level.
Take TULSA +6.5 (-110), but the total has the best value in this game.

Over/Under
BET OVER 141.5 (-115).
If there's one thing both teams have done well this season, it is hit the Over. Oklahoma State is 5-3 O/U and has gone Over in 4 straight games. The Cowboys have either scored 90 or more or allowed 70 or more in each of their last 4. Tulsa is 5-2 O/U and also 4-0 O/U in its last 4.
The Golden Hurricane have scored 82 or more in 3 of their last 4. This will be their lowest total of the season as well. They have allowed 77 or more in 3 straight games, so the Tulsa defense isn't great either.
That said, take OVER 141.5 (-115).
