#321 ASA PLAY ON Oklahoma State +9.5 over BYU, Friday at 10:15 PM ET - We’re getting some really solid line value with OSU here just based on recent spreads involving BYU. The Cougars were just favored by -2.5 last weekend at home vs Arizona, a team that rates nearly identical to Oklahoma State in our power ratings. BYU was favored earlier this year by 9.5 (same number as we have on Friday) at home vs a Wyoming team that is among the worst in the country. In their most recent road game, OSU was a 6 point dog @ Kansas State (who was favored by 7 @ BYU earlier this year) and we have the Wildcats rated a full 6 points better than BYU on a neutral field. You get the point. OSU has played back to back terrible games which is the reason this line sits where it is. The Cowboys were rolled by both Kansas State and West Virginia their last 2 contests but now had 2 weeks off to regroup and prepare for this one. BYU is 6-0 both SU and ATS but they’ve been pretty fortunate. Last week in their blowout win over Arizona, the yardage was about even but the Wildcats had 4 turnovers. They topped Baylor by 6 a week earlier in a game that was also basically even yardage wise and the Bears were shut out on downs inside BYU territory late. A week earlier they topped KSU but were outgained by 125 yards and helped by the Cats who had 3 turnovers. 9 takeaways by BYU in the last 3 games isn’t sustainable. When these 2 met last year @ Okie State, the Cowboys were favored by 17 and now getting nearly 10? That’s a 27 point swing in one year. In a similar spot last year, the Cowboys were 2-2 coming off losses vs South Alabama and Iowa State heading into their bye. Coming out of their bye week they beat Kansas State as an 11 point underdog, won 5 in a row and 7 of their last 9. OSU head coach Gundy has been around a long time and is a solid head man. He’ll have them ready here. Take the points.
