South Dakota State at Oklahoma State Picks and Predictions

Prediction

Oklahoma ranks 38, South Dakota ranks 20

Moneyline

PASSAGE.

Oklahoma State (-365) has no value to beat the Jackrabbits (+285) on opening day.

Against the spread

BETTING OKLAHOMA STATE -9.5 (-120).

While South Dakota State is currently the top FCS school in the country and returns to QB Mark Gronowskiwon’t be able to compete against an Oklahoma State team that only lost 4 games last season. Expect the Cowboys to dominate on both sides of the ball in front of their home crowd. A fast start for the Cowboys is all it will take to bury the Jackrabbits.

Over/Under

OVER 54.5 (-110).

While the Cowboys are expected to dominate on Saturday and be forced to carry the majority of the load, South Dakota State is capable of finding the end zone. Gronowski is a dual-threat QB who will create opportunities for his team to score. The total could come down to garbage time, but both teams are more than capable of getting there.
