The No. 18 Oklahoma State Cowboys (6-2) head to Lawrence on Saturday, November 5 to face the Kansas Jayhawks (5-3) with kickoff scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET.

The Pick
This is unfortunately not the game that will bring Kansas out of their losing streak. Oklahoma State got absolutely embarrassed last week, and this is a good matchup for them to prove themselves again. If Spencer Sanders can stay healthy for this weekend, I think that the Cowboys are able to win by a touchdown or two in Lawrence and stay in contention for the Big 12 championship game. This is a good Oklahoma State team, even if they didn't look it last week.
