Week 8 is here, and we’ve got a showdown that’s going to get the adrenaline pumping—Oklahoma State vs. BYU. Oklahoma State may be 3-0 all-time against BYU, but don’t let that fool you into thinking this will be a walk in the park. In fact, buckle up because this one’s set to be a defensive grind.
BYU comes into this game with a rock-solid defense and a spotless 6-0 record, while Oklahoma State is scrapping to get above .500. The Cowboys’ 40-34 win last year was a shootout, but this year feels different. In BYU’s home fortress, expect points to be hard to come by. That’s why I’m loving the UNDER in this one.
With the total set at 55.5, I see both teams leaning on their defenses to carry the day. Oklahoma State is walking into a tough, hostile environment, and BYU’s defense is built to lock down.
BYU enters this week eight matchup with a perfect 6-0 record, while Oklahoma State is 3-3 on the season. The game is set for 10:15 ET at LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo and will be broadcast on ESPN.
The Cougars are -9.5 point favorites, and the over/under line is currently set at 55.5 points.

4* Free 2024 Week 8 NCAA Betting Prediction: Oklahoma State +9.5
The spread is tight at BYU -9.5, so I’m steering clear of the line, but the value in a low-scoring affair is where I’m putting my focus. Look for a grind-it-out type of game, with defense ruling the day. If you’re looking for a smart play, it’s hammering the UNDER.
Our projections have BYU winning this matchup by a score of 26-24, which means we like Oklahoma State to cover the spread as +9.5 point underdogs.
The over/under line is set at 55.5 points, and with our projected score being 50 points, the under looks like a solid bet.
