Oklahoma State vs. Kansas State Prediction
I’m on Kansas State here. I think getting back home will help Kansas State here and I just didn’t love what I saw from Oklahoma State at Utah last time out. Oklahoma State’s defense has also been horrendous up to this point, and I think this is a nice rebound spot for Kansas State to get back on track. Give me the Wildcats by a touchdown plus in this one.
