Here's what I believe will happen this weekend.
and will look to turn things around this weekend. The Cowboys just lost to Tulsa, which prompted them to fire long-time Head Coach Mike Gundy.Here are my three predictions for this weekend's Big 12 showdown.
Bryson Washington has really come around since a slow season opener against Auburn. He's averaging over 100 yards and one touchdown per game through Baylor's first four games, and I expect him to have another big outing this weekend. Oklahoma State's defense is giving up 211 rushing yards per game, which ranks 126th out of 136 teams in the country. Washington and Caden Knighten should both have big games, but Washington should be the main beneficiary.

They have just flat-out struggled in every facet. The Cowboys have thrown for just 517 yards and one touchdown while tossing two interceptions. On the ground, they haven't been much better, rushing for 456 yards and three scores behind a 3.9 average. Baylor's defense played really well for three quarters last weekend before giving up a couple of explosive plays late, which really hurt them. If they can come out fast and avoid giving up the big plays through the air, Oklahoma State is really going to struggle.The Bears are sitting around 19.5 to 20.5-point favorites on most sportsbooks, and with the way these two teams have played this year, I think the Bears cover the spread fairly easily. Like I said in my previous prediction, I think the Cowboys will struggle to score more than 14 points in this game. Baylor's defense has some momentum behind them, and OSU has just looked awful. Offensively, Sawyer Robertson, Bryson Washington and Co. should be able to expose this Cowboys defense and score at least 30 points. 20 points is a big spread to cover, especially in conference play, but I'd be pretty surprised if Baylor doesn't win by three or more scores.Luke is a writer for the Baylor Bears On SI.
