1500* - Oklahoma State, 500* - Carolina Panthers, 500* - Long Beach State
BLOWOUT, BLOWOUT, BLOWOUT!
The Cowboys will crush the Buffaloes, as they get ready for their season finale against Oklahoma on the 28th.
On the surface this appears to be a big number, but this could very well be the game that seals the fate of Dan Hawkins as the head coach in Boulder. Colorado has gone just 8-16 against the spread on the road under Hawkins since 2006, and did suffer a rather embarrassing 54-38 beatdown at Toledo earlier this year when playing on short rest.
Oklahoma State is a money-making 11-2 against the spread their last 13 tries as a home favorite. The Cowboys own the depth, and while Robinson is out, there is a reason this line is still in the high double-digits. Okie State leads the nation in time of possession which will really take its toll on a Colorado defense that just played at Iowa State on Saturday, and will now play in Stillwater tonight!
Lay the wood, this one is a 24-point shellacking!

5 unit(s) ATS: Oklahoma State Cowboys -17 (-110) (Game of the Month)
Writeup: For a number of different reasons I believe the value in this matchup is on the home side:
The Buffaloes are sitting 3-7 overall and 2-4 in the Big 12 heading into Thursday night’s game at Oklahoma State, and Dan Hawkins job could be on the line.
Colorado is assured of missing out on postseason play for the third time in four seasons under Hawkins.
Problems with execution have plagued the Buffs all season on both sides of the ball.
The Buffaloes are playing on an unusual day, the fourth of five games this season they’ll play on a day other than Saturday. Thus far they’re 0-3 in such matchups, losing to Colorado State, Toledo and West Virginia in nonconference games.
Colorado always struggle on the road; 6-15 ATS its last 21 away from friendly confines!
On the other side of the field: QB Zac Robinson is one of the most efficient passers in the Big 12 and also a threat to run. RB Keith Toston has capably replaced Hunter, who is back sharing the load. Defensively, OSU is much-improved and tough in coverage with CB Perrish Cox and LB Patrick Lavine.
If Oklahoma State continues to get the kind of production from its ground game that it did in the second half against Texas Tech, the Cowboys could be unstoppable. They generated 207 yards rushing after the break while holding the football for long segments to effectively wear down the Tech defense.
Not only is Oklahoma State 7-1 SU its last eight overall, its also 4-1 SU its last five at Boone Pickens Stadium and is 4-1 ATS its last five overall!
Bottom line: While its chances to reach the title game are slim, Oklahoma State will try to finish the season strong behind its powerful running attack; look for OKLAHOMA STATE to move to 7-2 ATS this season as a favorite and for Colorado to fall to 3-4 ATS vs. conference opponents!
