No. 9 Oklahoma State at No. 16 Baylor Odds, Prediction for Week 5

Odds, best bets and analysis for this college football matchup

Oklahoma State is currently 3-0 on the season, with wins over Central Michigan, Arizona State, and Arkansas Pine-Bluff. If we're being totally honest here, this will be the Cowboys' first real test of the year. It'll also be their first road game of the year, so we will see just how good they actually are. Oklahoma State has averaged 51.7 points per game while allowing 22.7 points per game. The offense has churned out over 500 yards of offense per game, but they're also allowing nearly 400 yards on the defensive end.

QB Spencer Sanders has been great to start the year. He's thrown ten touchdowns along with just one interception through three games, and he's also capable of earning yards on the ground. WR Braydon Johnson has 14 catches and 300 yards with three touchdowns, so he has been absolutely dominating opposing defenses, and has been the sa fety blanket for Sanders. The offensive line hasn't been playing well at all, but the playmakers have offset the problems up there.

Meanwhile, the defense has looked terrific against the run but awful against the pass. Oklahoma State has allowed 265.3 yards per game in the air while only allowing 111.3 yards on the ground. The pass rush has been effective, but the secondary has broken down multiple times through three games this season, and that is against poor competition.
