Vegas Play of the Day: Iowa State at Oklahoma

UNLV Basketball Versus Utah at MGM Grand

L.E. Baskow

Oklahoma head coach Lon Kruger instructs players during a timeout in the game against Washington at the MGM Garden Arena on Saturday, Dec. 20, 2014.

Here’s the latest installment of the Play of the Day, which uses odds from the South Point. Our three sports writers started with a $10,000 bankroll — fictional, of course.

Iowa State plus-5.5 at Oklahoma: $770 to win $700

Two really good coaches with capable teams meeting in a key game for the Big 12 race. This could be a great game, and with things seemingly this even, I like getting nearly six points with what I think might be the better team.

To me, this game should probably be Oklahoma minus-2.5 or minus-3, so to get an extra 2 or 2.5 points is a lot of value. Obviously I could be proven wrong, but this seems like a bad number I want to jump on.

Standings: Bern (66-56-1, $11,896), Keefer (64-64-2, $9,987), Brewer (58-67-3, $4,715)
