Texas Longhorns vs. Oklahoma State Cowboys Key Stats
It's not often that you see a higher-ranked team with home-field advantage enter the week as the underdog. As mentioned, especially in a stadium that is tough to play in like Stillwater, Oklahoma is. Texas has had some vicious momentum in the last few weeks, while Oklahoma State hasn't looked as dominant and has had to deal with an injured QB. Texas is notoriously bad on the road, especially in Big 12 matchups, but the momentum advantage could be enough.
Oklahoma State's QB Spencer Sanders has been playing through a shoulder injury in recent weeks. They've still been able to put up 40 in the last 2 weeks, even against a top 10 TCU team. A home game against a conference rival could be all the Cowboys need to get back on track if Sanders is healthy enough to go.
These Longhorns and Cowboys offenses average a combined 80+ PPG and have no shortage of weapons who know how to find the endzone. The Cowboys have edged out Texas by 20 yards while averaging 455 yards per game. If QB Sanders can't throw at 100%, RB Dominic Robinson will have to work a little harder to get the ground threat going. Robinson lost the RB matchup to Texas's Bijan Robinson by 300 yards and 5 touchdowns difference. Both hard-hitting offenses will bring all their tricks to be on the higher scoring side in this shoot-out.

Texas Longhorns vs. Oklahoma State Cowboys Betting Prediction
Oklahoma State has been lagging in pass defense in recent weeks, and that will prove to be deadly against a capable Texas pass game and hard-hitting RB Bijan Robinson. The Cowboys fought through the injuries and keep it close, scoring plenty of points; nobody wins this game by a blowout. Expect these offenses to trade punches for 4 quarters and the Cowboys to cover or get the win late.
Prediction: Oklahoma State +6.5 (-115), Over 61.5 (-105), Bijan Robinson to score a TD
