Arkansas Razorbacks vs Oklahoma State Cowboys Prediction | Week 2 College Football | 9/7/24

Arkansas Oklahoma state is the first game that we're going to talk about uh Oklahoma State of course is about a touchdown favor the total when I looked at it last night was about 60 I think it's gotten bet significantly up yeah wow now it's 62 and a half minus 120 a pinnacle so a big move to the over which is understandable considering Oklahoma State's offense when I was capping this game you know obviously Arkansas huge you know they were picked I think 14th in the SEC low expectations for them this year Oklahoma State high expectations nice win and cover against South Dakota State a very impressive FCS team uh in their last game and the question is just you know how disrespected is Arkansas getting to start the year and to uh and coming into this game obviously you know the the the the 70 zip win we take with a grain of salt but I was thinking that maybe I you know probably Oklahoma State minus the points is the way to go just because they they'll they'll pull away with it late but I was thinking maybe under or first half under because Arkansas is going to come in here and try to really you know prove to themselves that you know that that everyone that they're wrong all the you know the preseason rankings are wrong and uh and I think they're going to try to play tough slow it down defense oriented uh football which you know if they're able to do that and not fall behind big early uh will lead to a lower scoring first half but obviously there's been a huge Market move to the over which is understandable considering the uh the Oklahoma State offense um I was leaning under and more so first half under when I Capp this game and probably I guess agreeing with everyone else that ultimately full game Oklahoma state is just too talented and with a free play at least would take the minus seven uh but what do you think you chose this game at dabby capap what are you lik in here and why yeah you know I'm gonna be a little bit of an outlier I figure uh you're right I think people probably should be loading up Oklahoma State here uh you know you got uh tail green at QB the the transfer from Boise State for Arkansas and you know he's under Bobby patrino you got Bobby patrino back at the helm calling plays for the offense um and without Jimbo fiser at A&M you know Jimbo had his thumb on patrino like he really those those were two competing personalities that you just you you just can't have you know in the same coaching staff and I don't think patrino was ever really able to do what he does and open up the field whereas here at Arkansas I think he's going to have that ability and I think green put people notice week one now I know that that was a FCS competition and it it it's no big deal but at the same time you know they had the ball 10 times they scored 10 times right patrino knows what he's doing uh calling plays on offense on the other side you got Bowman uh for Oklahoma State the QB and his seventh year of Eligibility you know I just think it's so crazy that we're seeing these seventh eighth even the the the tight end at Miami's got his ninth year of Eligibility uh but I digress that's just crazy to see people making a decade out of a college career um but yeah Bowman's going to be at the helm at the QB and behind him you've got Gordon olly Gordon who is you know arguably probably G to be the best player on the field right the running back for Oklahoma State we all know you know he's that guy he's gonna get the ball 20 25 oh he might get 25 plus carries in this game and one thing uh Pete that I will be on and I want to make sure the chat hears this because there's no numbers yet and I can't make it official I'll be on olly Gordon's rushing prop I love betting College props will be on his prop uh he had 104 yards in the first game I think he can get close to 100 again in this game the number should probably be around somewhere like 79 just a guess we'll have to see when it gets up there um so for Arkansas the real question is going to be on defense right uh can they slow down oi Gordon can they stop Bowman last year they were 80th and team defense allowing almost 28 points per game if that hasn't Pro improved Gordon's gonna have a field day and and I understand why people are on Oklahoma State uh but you kind of touched on it by saying you like the under and you you you like Arkansas to make this a defensive minded game I think Arkansas shows some fight here I really do and even though Oklahoma State's going to be balanced and they're going to put up points um patrino is going to call good plays that are going to put up points also you got a dual thre threat quarterback for patrino um I see this game going back and forth I really do I see it going back and forth and while Arkansas's defense might be the reason they lose this game I think they keep it close close enough to cover and at seven and a half I got to take it so I will be on back yeah yeah I mean that's the way I was thinking and I'm like if it was 13 you know but like a lot of times these back and forth games they're close you see this all the time even the the dog is like winning at the end of the third quarter but then like class shows late and then you know the favorite gets the cover which um which makes me nervous uh but yeah and and Arkansas last year they they just they were kind of tough last year even though they had issues with like fumbles and penalties and everything uh and special teams um they weren't they didn't really get blown out they were just a tough Scrappy team in general right they were and I feel like it's been a couple years of watching an offense completely and totally built around KJ Jefferson for Arkansas and as great of a football player as he is I got tired of watching that offense try and find a way to give him a five yard pass or run it right up the middle like I'm much more excited about green at quarterback with patrino calling plays than I ever would have been about KJ Jefferson and Arkansas I think this this team has more potential than they have in a couple years yeah well there's been a big move to the over from last night like a three-point move uh the first half total is still just about 31 what's your take on that Big Move I mean obviously at first glance it makes a ton of sense I think that you know outside of the schools that are playing FCS opponents who were able to cover the 50 you know and 34 point spreads outside of that we saw in week one a lot of games go under and I know this is now week two but this is the first real competition that either of these teams are playing Pete so yeah yeah I think that it could go back to that trend of you know we see the first half go under the full game go under um yeah I like the under especially with uh with Arkansas probably just you know probably going back to what they do best which is pounding it and if you think there's going to be a lot of running from uh from from from Oklahoma State as well let's see what the comment section has to say the total is yeah the the side is just seven and a half as Arkansas plus 7 and a half 10us 106 that's your official play dabby cab 7 and a half 106 I'll take that right there okay wager detective says recently biased we'll see what G State just did built into the line already yeah and wager Tech of likes Arkansas plus seven and a half now out of all out of all of the FCS schools Pete um you know the Jack Rabbits um that Oklahoma State played uh South Dakota state that that's that's one of the better FCS schools that being said Oklahoma state was getting pushed around a little bit on the line by them and that's that's not something you want to see all right well dabby C like in Arkansas plus seven and a half current line minus 106 at Pinnacle
