Arizona Wildcats vs. Oklahoma State Cowboys Betting Odds and Stats

Thursday, September 8

Oklahoma ST. over Arizona by 10

Week Two of the NCAA football betting season opens in Stillwater where the offensive- thinking Cowboys play host to the defensive-minded Wildcats.

We may be showing our age but when we think of Stillwater, we recall a Southern Rock band from the 70’s that had a flair for folk. Ironically, the group had one hit, ‘Mind Bender’, as tonight’s matchup certainly has our database in a tizzy.

Arizona was a 41-10 winner in its last match at home against Northern Arizona. They covered the 27–point spread as favorites, while the total score of 51 sent OVER bettors to the payout window.

You see, the desert dwellers are a money-burning 1-8 SU and 2-7 ATS in road openers but the ‘Boys are just 1-4 ATS in the second of back-to-back homers while HC Mike Gundy is a feeble 5-11 SU and ATS off a win versus greater than .800 opposition, including 3-6 SU and 2-7 ATS at home.

And speaking of folk, it could very well be the same old revenge story as the Wildcats are looking for payback from a 36-10 beating in last year’s Alamo Bowl – a game in which they won the stats battle, 370-312, but were done in by four turnovers.

And though we’re not thrilled with the visitor’s aforementioned opening road log,along with Zona’s 6-1 ATS weekday mark, cements the ‘Cats chances this evening. ‘Take it’ or leave it.
