BYU Cougars vs Oklahoma State Cowboys Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 02/04/26

Let’s start with the number. A top-ten side laying a short number on the road to an unranked opponent. That demands attention because it signals the Pokes could be more than a speed bump here. This is simply a reality against perception spot. BYU owns the prettier résumé in terms of rankings and metrics. Naturally that pulls money toward the Cougars, but this is about where the game is played and how OSU creates discomfort. In Stillwater, OK State plays at a higher level and their ability to score at will means they can match everything Brigham Young throws at them. That matters because even great offenses lose efficiency when they’re sped up mentally and physically.

Unlike a lot of underdogs, the Cowboys can score from the perimeter as they own the stronger three-point profile, which matters because it gives them a comeback mechanism even if BYU has a clean stretch. Backing the Cougars to win at margin in a game where the home environment and offensive pressure can keep things tight into the second half is a risky move. The total of 170 also implies that both teams will get their looks and this is a contest that can go in a wide variety of directions. Taking the points is academic as much as anything else. Oklahoma State can win this outright, but we’ll help ourselves to the multiple possession cushion and put the points in our back pocket.

BYU vs Oklahoma State prediction: Oklahoma State +6 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
