Oklahoma State Cowboys vs. Utah Utes Prediction
I’m on Oklahoma State here. I think that Utah might be the worst team in the Big 12 and one of the harder teams to back consistently in this conference. Oklahoma State’s far from a world-beater on the road, but I still think there’s enough in the tank for them to snag a win and cover here so give me Oklahoma State.
