The Oklahoma State Cowboys are one of the more surprising teams in college football this season. Since losing their season opener to Tulsa, they've ripped off four straight wins, including a big upset victory against Oregon.

They'll look to pull off another impressive win in Week 7 when they take on No. 20 Houston. The Cougars have won three straight games and are looking to get back in the hunt near the top of the Big 12 standings.

Let's dive into the odds and my best bet for Saturday's game.

Oklahoma State vs. Houston Key Player to Watch

• Patrick Overmyer, TE - Houston Cougars

Patrick Overmyer tied the NCAA record for most touchdowns in a single game for a tight end last weekend when he found the end zone four times for the Cougars in their 35-16 win against Kansas State. He is now the Cougars' leading receiver, having recorded 33 receptions for 400 yards and six total touchdowns through Houston's first six games.

Oklahoma State vs. Houston Prediction and Best Bet

Instead of betting on a side in this game, I'm going to bet on the total and take the OVER. Both teams have been better offensively than defensively this season. The Cougars are seventh in success rate but 58th in opponent success rate. Similarly, Oklahoma State is 22nd in success rate, but 46th in opponent success rate.

It's also worth noting that the OVER has cash in five straight meetings between these two teams.

The high total doesn't scare me away .Let's sit back and root for points in this Big 12 battle.

Pick: OVER 62.5 (-110) via FanDuel
