Houston is Elite

Houston vs Kansas State Prediction 

Kansas State sucks, and it’s not going to magically get better in this game. Kansas State is averaging 75.5 points per game, but they aren’t going to get even close to that Mber here. Houston is giving up only 54 points per game and they are going to really struggle to get the offense going here. Houston is going to have no issue running up the score against the Kansas state defense and this game is going to get out of hand early. Back Houston to win this game and cover the spread.
