Kansas State vs Iowa State Prediction
The Kansas State Wildcats are coming off a nice blowout win over Cincinnati, but we can’t ignore how they looked a month before. Time will tell if Kansas State can build on that effort on the road. The Iowa State Cyclones are 5-1 SU at home, and they’re still in the Big 12 title race. Senior night at home, I trust Iowa State’s offense to control this game and cover the small number. Kansas State has fallen off the wagon over the last month.
