College Football Free Pick: Take the Cowboys. We all saw what happened when Texas faced a real offense last week: the Longhorns were blown out. Granted, they should play better home this Saturday but OK State provides an equally challenging threat thanks to Brandon Weeden and the Cowboys’ high-powered offense. According to latest college football trends, the road team is 4-0 against the spread in the last four meetings between these two teams while the favorite is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. The Longhorns may keep this a game early, but look for OK State to pull away in the second half.
