Oklahoma State Cowboys Odds

Oklahoma State 2024 Season Preview

The Oklahoma State Cowboys enter the 2024 football season ready to finally make the leap into the College Football Playoff after years of successful regualar seasons. The departures of Texas and Oklahoma from the Big 12 have opened the door for a program that deserves more national spotlight. 

On offense, it's all about pounding the rock on the ground. The Pokes have arguabley the best running back in the country in Ollie Gordon II. He is the reigning Doak Walker Award winner and gets to run behind a great offensive line. Want to know how important Gordon is to this team? The Cowboys did not lose last year when he had at least 20 carries in a game. With the target on his back, it will be interesting to see what he can do as an encore of an incredible 2023 campaign. 

On the defensive side, The Cowboys are expectd to improve as this unit is very experienced. Their front seven is littered with a history of production and will be helped out by star safety Kendal Daniels. Daniels is key in stopping the run as he finished second on the team in tackles. 

As noted earlier, the door is open for the Cowbooys to win the Big 12. They currently have odds of +750, which is the third-best in the the conference. 

Betting on the Oklahoma State Cowboys

Oklahoma State Spread

 The point spread is one of the most common bets in college football; it's a wager on whether or not the favorite will win by a certain number of points.

Let’s use an example to illustrate:

• Kansas State (+2.5)
• Oklahoma State Cowboys (-2.5)

The favored team is denoted with a minus sign (-), while the underdog is given a plus sign (+). In this case, Oklahoma State is a 2.5-point favorite over the visiting Wildcats. That means that bets on the Cowboys to cover the spread would win only if State won the game by a field goal or more. Tickets on the Wildcats would cash if Kansas State won the game outright or lost by just one or two points.

Oklahoma State Moneylines

Instead of worrying about a margin of victory, many bettors prefer to wager on the moneyline instead. The moneyline is a bet on which team will win the game outright. Just like point spreads, the favored team is marked with a minus sign (-) and the underdog with a plus (+).

Reusing our example from earlier, we get moneyline odds that look like this:

• Kansas State +110
• Oklahoma State Cowboys -130

The numbers next to the +/- signs are the odds, written in American format. It’s easiest to understand them in increments of $10 or $100. Since the Cowboys are -130 favorites, that means it would take a bet of $130 to win $100 if Oklahoma State won the game. Betting on the underdog Wildcats at +110 means a $100 wager wins $110 if Kansas State wins the game outright.

Oklahoma State Over/Unders

There’s also an easy way to bet on Oklahoma State games that doesn’t involve betting them to win or lose by any number of points: Over/unders, also referred to as totals, are bets on the number of points both teams combine to score.

If the total for our game above was 58 points, over bettors would need more points than that to cash their ticket, while the under would win if fewer points were scored. In the event of an exact tie (58 points on the dot in this case), wagers on the total would “push,” and all bettors would be refunded their initial wager.

Oklahoma State Props

Prop bets are bets that can’t be neatly sorted into one of the above categories. They cover an assortment of bets from wagers on one player’s statistical output to the exact number of points a team will win by.

Player props are any type of bet on one player’s performance in a given game: For example, you could bet on players to go over or under a certain number of rushing yards, receiving yards, or a combination of them. You could also bet on him to score the first touchdown, or the last touchdown, or a touchdown at any time.

Game props are most often on discrete events across a Cowboys game, such as who will win the coin toss, whether or not the first kickoff will be a touchback, or which quarterback will throw for more yards. Make sure to shop for the best props with the Action Network app.

Oklahoma State Futures

Not every bet wins or loses at the final whistle: Futures are bets on markets that won’t resolve until the end of the season, like bets on who wins the Heisman or the national championship.

Most futures are bet before the season starts, but books will often keep their most popular futures markets open all season long. Future bets can be on a team’s performance, like betting the Cowboys' season win total over or that Oklahoma State will win the Big 12, or they can be on an individual, like RB Ollie Gordon II to rush for a certain number of yards, or to win the Heisman.
