College Football Week 4 Picks: Utah vs. Oklahoma State (2024)
While there weren’t many marquee games on the Week 3 college football slate, we found enough action across the board from Thursday through Saturday to wind up profitable. Our lone loser was Texas State failing to cover +2.5, losing by three points after blowing three separate leads to Arizona State.
In Week 4, we’ve got a couple of blue-chip Power 4 programs facing off, giving us plenty of quality betting markets to wager on the upcoming slate of games. We wound up 3-1 with our Week 3 best bets, so let’s keep the momentum rolling with my latest line movement analysis to predict four games on the Week 4 college football slate. Here is my early prediction for college football Week 4: Utah vs. Oklahoma State.

College Football Week 4 Early Picks: Utah vs. Oklahoma State
Utah vs. Oklahoma State
A massive Big 12 matchup between Utah and Oklahoma State will kickoff on Saturday afternoon from Stillwater, Oklahoma. The Cowboys are currently +1.5 on the point spread, making Oklahoma State home underdogs against the Utes.
Utah’s biggest issue is the health of QB Cam Rising, who did not play during their 38-21 win against Utah State in Week 3. Even if Rising does suit up for this matchup in Week 4, his injury history is concerning, while Oklahoma State’s defense has been stout defending the pass.
I like backing the home underdog in this spot, especially with RB Ollie Gordon dominating for Oklahoma State, alongside multiple starters who returned from 2023. Continuity and the ability to score over 35 points in all three games, including an overtime win over Arkansas in Week 2, means we should see the Cowboys create plenty of explosives and out-score the run-centric Utah offense, forcing them to play catch-up and abandon their tendencies.
Best Bet: Oklahoma State +1.5 (-108)
