Cincinnati Bearcats vs. Kansas State Wildcats Prediction

I’m on the under here. Kansas State’s had some solid offensive showings, and defense has been a problem, but the thing for me is that Cincinnati is a team that tries to slow the pace down, and I think the Bearcats do just that in a first to 70 wins kind of game.
