Result: Loss

Kansas State -10.5

One thing about Kansas State is consistency. That pure and simple is a product of Bill Snyder. Yes ISU went on the road and blew out Texas Tech, of course Tech was coming off an upset of then #1 Oklahoma. ISU also caught Okie State sleeping at the wheel, and we all know Okie State plays little defense. At day’s end COACHING is a huge deal in games like this and K State has a major bowl game hanging in the balance and they also have covered 9 out of their last 10 games and are a tough home field team in little Manhattan always. Also a senior day and I simply think Kansas St. is so well coached that they will not take this game lightly and the fact ISU has beaten ranked teams will have Bill Snyder’s full attention. Iowa State’s offense is in flux and have only scored 18 ppg their last 3 games and they are very thin at RB due to injury.

Play 1 Unit on Kansas State. 31-14 is my guestimate here.

BONUS PLAY – Play a half unit on BAYLOR -2.5. If Texas AM did not give it away 4 times last week, Texas would have got beat by 10. While I had them n that one, this is a back to back road trip, and Bryles a better coach than Mac Brown, trust me and RG III one of the best QB’s in the country and the best player in this game, and at home.
