Kansas State vs UCF Prediction
Kansas State isn’t playing great ball in its own right and is 2-8 SU on the road. Kansas State has lost three straight games and that includes a home loss to Arizona State, which isn’t great. However, UCF has losses in eight of its last 10 games and is laying points. UCF hasn’t won two straight games since December. Yes, Kansas State isn’t good and probably loses this game on the road like it has all year. I’m still not laying points with UCF. If forced to pick, give me the Wildcats and the free buckets.
