Here are the All Pokes staff's score predictions ahead of the highly-touted matchup.

The final Bedlam will be an entertaining one. The Cowboys will get out to a big early lead but the game will prove to be too emotionally draining in the second half.Ollie Gordon will have another big day, but Sooners’ Heisman hopeful Dillon Gabriel will seize control of the game in the second half. The Sooners will take their first lead of the game early in the fourth quarter and never let it go.

Ollie Gordon is going to keep doing what he has been doing these last five games. He has five straight games with over 100 rushing yards, including two straight games with over 250 rushing yards.
Oklahoma comes in ranked 52nd in rushing defense, including giving up 225 rushing yards against Kansas last week. Oklahoma State will take this one in the final chapter of Bedlam for the foreseeable future.

While Oklahoma State is carrying the momentum into this matchup and Oklahoma is coming off a brutal loss to Kansas, the Sooners are still the better team. They're the No. 9 team in the College Football Playoff, and if they want a chance to make the playoffs, they'll have to win out.
The Sooners have dominated this matchup historically, and they won't allow the Cowboys to beat them on the way out, especially with playoff and Big 12 implications on the line.
The Cowboys will pound the rock, whereas Dillon Gabriel and the Sooners will air it out, and ultimately the air raid will win the game.
Oklahoma 35, Oklahoma State 32

Ollie Gordon is simply too much for a depleted Sooner defense. The Cowboys win on the ground, which wills them to victory for the final Bedlam.
Oklahoma State 31, Oklahoma 28
