Corey’s Free Pick

Kansas State has been really good since a road loss to Oklahoma State, and I do believe they’ll close their regular season strong here. Iowa State has been pretty scrappy down the stretch, but with a faint chance at going to the Big 12 title game still at stake for KState, their pedestrian offensive approach may not be enough here on the road. The total is attainable, as eight of KSU’s last ten games have hit this number, so roll the Wildcats to win here, and give the Over a hard look.
