Home field
Oklahoma State is worth +4.3 points (±4.2) more at home than on the road since 2018 — middle of FBS, 56th percentile.
65% at home, 40% on the road against FBS opponents (32-17 home, 18-27 away).
Our model gives every stadium the same flat 2.3-point home edge (why); the books use about 3. Against the closing line this stadium reads +2.5 at home vs. away over 100 games — inside the ±6.6 noise, so the flat number is the honest one here.
Night kickoff — historically worth about half a point more to the home side against the number, and not much more than that. The visitors travel about 488 miles to get here.
