After back to back double digit win seasons Oklahoma State took a step back last year, finishing with an 8-5 overall record and a 5-4 conference mark. There is hope in Stillwater the Cowboys, who won the 2011 Big 12 title, have what it takes to return to the top of the league standings this year. The odds makers at 5Dimes are projecting that as their latest college football odds have Oklahoma State lined as a +260 moneyline favorite ($100 wins $260) to win the Big 12 Championship. Double digit regular season wins are not in the forecast, though; the Cowboys are presently favored to win fewer than 9.5 games at -140 odds.
Oklahoma State's 2013 schedule shapes up nicely with its non-conference slate featuring only one name program (Mississippi State) while most of the Big 12's heavy hitters travel to Stillwater. Kansas State, last year's conference champion, TCU, Baylor, and Oklahoma all face the Cowboys at Boone Pickens Stadium, leaving Oklahoma State with a conference road lineup that includes West Virginia, Iowa State, Texas Tech, and Texas.
Early college football lines from the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas have the Cowboys favored in each of their nine lined games with the exception of a November 16th meeting with the Longhorns. The Golden Nugget has Oklahoma State listed as a +6 against the spread road dog in that game.
