Oklahoma State Cowboys (4-0 SU, 3-1 ATS, 4-0 O/U)

• Cowboys are 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 games in October.
• Cowboys are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a road favorite.

Oklahoma State moved to 4-0 on the season and 3-1 ATS by squeaking out a thrilling 38-35 win against Texas A&M last week to cash in by the slimmest of margins against the free college football picks betting line as a 2.5-point home favorite.

The young Cowboys will be playing their first road contest of the season in this one and come into this matchup ranked second in the nation in scoring by averaging a whopping 52.2 points per contest.

Defensively, Oklahoma State is allowing 29.5 points per game (92nd) but just 134.5 per game on the ground (48th).

Junior quarterback Brandon Weeden has thrown a whopping 13 TD passes so far and just four interceptions while completing a blistering 71.3 percent of his passes for 1,259 yards.

UL Lafayette Ragin Cajuns (2-2 SU, 2-2 ATS, 3-1 O/U)

• Ragin’ Cajuns are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 vs. Big 12.
• Ragin’ Cajuns are 1-4 ATS vs. a team with a winning record and
• Ragin’ Cajuns are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 non-conference games.
• Ragin’ Cajuns are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog of 10.5 points or more.

Louisiana-Lafayette evened its record at 2-2 SU and ATS on the season by recording a narrow 28-27 win over North Texas on October 2. The Ragin’ Cajuns cashed in as a 5-point free college football picks underdog as sophomore quarterback Chris Masson completed 18 of 32 passes for 310 yards and two touchdowns.

Prediction: The Cowboys enter their final non-conference game with a perfect 4-0 record – and I fully expect them to win this contest to keep their unblemished record intact.

However, with such a huge point spread, college football betting enthusiasts may be a bit worried about the Cowboys’ ability to cover the spread.

Well, that’s where I come in – and my free college football picks betting advice for this matchup is to play the Cowboys to win and record the ATS victory with an emphatic road smackdown of their overmatched opponents.

With its last victory, the Cowboys moved into the Top 25 for the first time this season and I suspect they will want to not only win this matchup, but do so in impressive fashion as they try to crack the Top 20.

Not only is OSU’s Brandon Weeden playing stellar football under center, but the senior running back Kendall Hunter looks like he’s back to the form he showed when he won the Big 12 rushing title in 2008. Hunter is averaging a fantastic 7.0 yards per carry and has already racked up eight TDs on the season.

He and Weeden will make life difficult on Louisiana-Lafayette in this matchup while leading the Cowboys to an emphatic win.

While the Ragin’ Cajuns have posted an impressive 9-4 ATS mark in their last 13 games against Big 12 opponents, they’ve also gone just 1-6 ATS when they’re an underdog of 10.5 points or more.

If you’re too worried about the spread, my free college football betting picks advice says to simply play the Cowboys straight up against the moneyline as a -2500 road favorite.
