Kansas State at West Virginia

Kansas State lost for just the second time last week as they could not handle the #5 ranked TCU Horned Frogs. Perception of a team changes quickly and suddenly the #11 Wildcats come into West Virginia as an underdog. Kansas State has only lost to a pair of ranked teams, one by 6 points, so the loss last game is offering line value here. After running off four straight wins, West Virginia has now lost two straight and comes in at 6-4. West Virginia has been poor against the run, allowing over 180 yards per game, and that should be the point of separation in this matchup. West Virginia averages 34 points per game, but the Wildcats are at an even better 36 ppg, with a better defense. This game could go back and forth for awhile, but in the end there are more stops in the Wildcats' defense, and they can close the game on the ground against the poor Mountaineers' run-stop unit. The Wildcats are 15-3 ATS off a loss and will be ready. Play on Kansas State.
