First place in the Big 12 South will be on the line Saturday evening at 8:00pm EST in Stillwater as #14 Oklahoma State hosts #3 Texas in a game that can be seen on ABC or ESPN2. The Longhorns have won 11 straight in college football betting over the Cowboys in this series and they are favored to make it 12 in a row on Saturday. Texas is a 9.5-point favorite with a betting total of 52 at online sportsbooks. The Longhorns are 7-0 straight up, 8-2 when playing on turf and are 10-0 when playing in October. Texas hasn’t lost to Oklahoma State since 1997. They lead the all-time series 21-2 in college football betting odds. Oklahoma State believes they have a chance this year to end the losing streak. "I haven't beat them since I've been here, same for the guys in there," quarterback Zac Robinson said. "It's a little extra motivation obviously with what's on the line and both teams playing well right now. Having them at our place will be a lot of fun." Oklahoma State is going for their 6th straight win of the season, is 3-2-1 ATS and is 5-0 straight up for their last 5 games. Bet on Oklahoma State +9.5 at home in college football betting lines for week 9. For the Cowboys to win they will have to play top notch defense and stop Texas quarterback Colt McCoy. That doesn’t seem likely considering McCoy has won all three of his starts against the Cowboys in the past completing 79.4 percent of his passes for 1,019 yards. Last season McCoy threw for 391 yards as Texas won at home 28-24. The difference last year was the Texas defense and it could be that way again this time since the Texas defense is ranked 2nd in the country. "They're very athletic. They can run and they are physical," Cowboys coach Mike Gundy said, "They've been that way for a number of years and I think they're very well-coached.” Oklahoma State will have to win without star wide receiver Dez Bryant who will miss the rest of the season due to a suspension. Bet on Texas -9.5 as they go for their 8th straight win in week 9 college football betting odds. Fernandez's College Football Picks: I would really like to take the Cowboys in an upset but Texas has proven to be too strong with or without McCoy.
