The Pick

Oklahoma State -9

Take Oklahoma State here at home. Sanders does well against bad teams and bad defenses. In four games against real opponents this season, Texas Tech’s defense has surrendered 32 points per contest. They will be able to score, but Oklahoma State will pull away late to cover the nine points.
