Betting on the Kansas State Wildcats 5-5 (+21)
The Kansas State Wildcats have had a very up and down season and come into this game, needing one more win to get to a bowl game, and for a team to have such high expectations this year, if they were to miss out on a Bowl game that would be very disappointing. They are going to really have their hands full in this game too, with the injury problems that this team is dealing with.
Jesse Ertz, the quarterback who started the season for the Wildcats is out indefinitely with a knee injury, so Alex Delton took over for him. He is dealing with a head injury though, and he missed the last game because of it. He is officially questionable for this game.
If he isn’t able to go the job will fall to Freshman Skylar Thompson who has struggled so far this year. In his start against West Virginia he threw for 159 yards and two touchdowns. On the defensive side of the ball they are going to need to step up. The Cowboys are a really good offensive team, and the Wildcats are going to need to find a way to try and keep this to be a low scoring game.
Betting on the Oklahoma State Cowboys 8-2 (-21)
On the other side of this match up is the Oklahoma State Cowboys who have had a nice season so far this year, and come into this game with only two losses to Oklahoma and TCU.
For the Cowboys their strength is on the offensive side of the ball. Coming into this game they are averaging 45.7 points per game, which is second in college football.
Quarterback Mason Rudolph has been of the best players in college football all year.
He has thrown for 3630 yards, 30 touchdowns and seven interceptions. To win this game the Cowboys just need to try and make this game a shootout. The Wildcats won’t be able to keep up if this is a shootout, so the higher this game gets. the better the chance the Cowboys are the team that comes out ahead in this game.
Writer’s Prediction
The Kansas State Wildcats just don’t have enough offense to keep up with the Oklahoma State Cowboys offense, and that will be the difference in this game. I think the Cowboys will win this game, and have no issue covering the spread. Pick: Oklahoma State Cowboys (-20)
