Oklahoma State has won five consecutive games since a season-opening loss to the Florida State Seminoles, including a 27-20 victory over the Kansas Jayhawks as 19.5-point road favorites last Saturday, while going UNDER the betting total for a second consecutive affair.  The Cowboys are 22-3 SU in their last 26 games against teams from the state of Texas, which can’t be ignored when making your Week 8 NCAA football betting picks, while they’ve captured 11 of their last 14 played in the Lone Star State.  Oklahoma State is 0-6 SUATS as road underdogs of 7.5 to 10 points in its last six opportunities.

The Cowboys have scored 20 or more points in 58 consecutive games dating back to 2010, which is important to consider when looking over the NCAA football odds page, while they own a 13-9-2 all-time advantage in this series.  Since 2009, Oklahoma State has compiled a 19-7 SU record on the road, including a 16-6 mark versus Big 12 Conference opponents.  No school outside of the state of Texas has more players on its roster from that region than Saturday’s visitor in this matchup.

TCU has covered the number in all five of its games this season, but it did suffer a 61-58 setback to the Baylor Bears as seven-point road underdogs last week, while going OVER the betting total for a third consecutive affair.  The Horned Frogs will be playing their first home game with both teams ranked in the top-15 nationally since 1984, while they prepare to knock heads with such an opponent for a third straight contest for the first time in history.  TCU is 8-7 SU and 7-8 ATS at home the last two-plus seasons.

The Horned Frogs are 28-11 SU in regular-season games following a loss under longtime head coach Gary Patterson, while they’ve put together a 64-14 mark during his time on campus when playing at Amon G. Carter Stadium.  TCU’s new offense is averaging 510.0 yards per game under coordinators Sonny Cumbie and Doug Meacham, which results in a +165.2 yards per game difference from a season ago.

Sports bettors will likely back the Horned Frogs due to their 5-0 ATS mark in their last five games versus teams with a winning record.
