Kansas State vs West Virginia prediction

West Virginia isn’t going to find success in this game. They might be at home, but they aren’t going to find success in this game. I am not sold on Garrett Greene being the answer and he’s going to have a couple more turnovers here. Kansas State is going to run up the score here and West Virginia is going to have no answer. Kansas State will win this game by at least 15 points. Back Kansas State against the spread here.
