Kansas State vs Baylor Prediction
The Kansas State Wildcats are getting no respect with this line because they haven’t won a game since December 30 and have lost eight of their last nine games. However, let’s not act like the Baylor Bears are lighting the world on fire. Baylor just lost to TCU as a double-digit favorite and looked awful defensively in a loss to Arizona. Baylor also wasn’t competitive at all in a game against Iowa State. This isn’t the Baylor team from a few years ago. At some point, Kansas State has to get its act together as there’s enough punch offensively to be more competitive. Kansas State has won three straight games against Baylor. I’ll take a shot with the Wildcats and the points.
