Oklahoma State Cowboys

The Cowboys never lost a game in which they were favored on the spread in 2025-26: 14 games, 14 wins, and only four Division I teams made more backing their favorite moneylines. As underdogs they went 5-14.

Favored means won

Oklahoma State was the spread favorite 14 times and won every one. The 12 that carried a moneyline returned 4.70 units, fifth-best in Division I. Winning was not covering: the spread record as favorite was 7-7, with home misses against Sam Houston at -13.5 and Kansas State, 84-83 at -2.5.

Getting points, the 19 priced underdog moneylines lost 3.91 units. The best of the five upset wins: 111-104 at UCF at +330, 99-92 at home over BYU at +320, and 87-63 over Texas A&M at +130 in November.

Home and away split the same way: 14-5 at home with only 8 covers in 19, and 3-7 on the road with five covers in ten.

November, then February

The Cowboys opened 7-0 in November, part of a nine-game win streak, and banked 3.15 units. February went 2-6 straight up and 2-6 against the spread, with road losses at Arizona (47-84), Arizona State, Colorado and Cincinnati. March came back with four covers in four.

Points both ways
