Oklahoma State’s high-powered offense will be able to find the end zone enough tonight to beat Texas A&M in the Big 12 opener for both teams. They’ve got too many weapons for the Aggies to handle and they’ll win this one by two TDs.
The Cowboys lead the nation with 596 yards of offense per game and they have to top receiver in the country in Justin Blackmon (144 yards receiving per game) and the third-rated passer in Brandon Weeden (325 yards per game) and third-rated rusher in Kendall Hunter (158 yards per game). Oklahoma State has scored 65 points twice already this season and they got a 41-38 win over Troy between the two blowouts.
Texas A&M’s Jerrod Johnson was selected the conference’s preseason offensive player of the year, but he has run into some trouble early in the season with four interceptions already. The Aggies scored easy wins in their first two games, but on Sept. 18, they were in a dog fight against Florida International, trailing 20-6 in the fourth quarter before rattling off 21 straight points.
Texas A&M comes into this one on some negative ATS trends, including 17-36-1 on the road, 9-24-1 as a road ‘dog, 2-6-1 as an underdog overall, 1-5 against teams with winning home records and 1-6 on Thursday night games.
Oklahoma State is on some solid ATS runs, including 11-4 as a home favorite and 34-15-2 as a favorite overall. The Cowboys have won the last two meetings in this series, taking a 36-31 win at Texas A&M last season as five-point road favorites. The year before, Oklahoma State welcomed the Aggies into Stillwater, Okla. and drubbed them 56-28, cashing as 26-point home chalk.
I’m going with the more consistent offense and Oklahoma State here tonight. Weeden is playing outstanding football and has tossed 11 TDs and just two INTs. If he stays within himself tonight, this one is an easy win for the Cowboys. Play Oklahoma State.
