Kansas State at Oklahoma

Kansas State is a big dog in this Big 12 battle, but has the superior defense. Kansas State ranks #14 in the nation in yards allowed, third against the run (just 80.8 yards per game) and #15 in points (17.6 per game). Their two losses were by 13 to Stanford in the opener and one to West Virginia. Kansas State has a big edge in coaching this contest, as Bill Snyder is one of the best in the nation. The Wildcats are on a 42-18-1 ATS run in conference play, including 21-9-1 ATS against a team with a winning record. Oklahoma came into the season loaded with talent for Bob Stoops but, as usual, they have stumbled against good teams again, losing to Ohio State (45-24) and Houston (33-23). They were two-touchdown favorites over Houston and were favored by -9 against the Buckeyes on the opening line before the season started. And this Sooners defense has been a huge disappointment, allowing 45, 46 and 40 points the last three games, dropping to #109 in the country in points allowed (36.2 pg) and #89 in yards allowed. Two years ago Oklahoma was a seven-point favorite but lost the turnover battle 2-0 to the Wildcats in a 31-30 defeat. The road team is 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 meetings and the wagering value is for the visitors to pull the upset with their great defense controlling the game. Take both Kansas State on the moneyline and the UNDER.
