Why Bet On Kansas State?
Despite being underdogs at home, there are a handful of great reasons to back Kansas State in this contest. First, the Wildcats have won four of six home games this season combined with the fact that Iowa State has gone an uninspiring 2-2 in four road dates. Then, there’s the fact that K-State has the stingier defense in limiting the opposition to 21.9 points per game (32nd) to Iowa State’s 25.2 points per game allowed. K-State also comes into this contest feeling good after snapping a two-game losing streak by beating Texas Tech 30-27 last weekend to improve to 4-2 SU over their last six.Team Statistics

Iowa State vs Kansas State Expert Analysis and Prediction
Maybe it’s me, but I’m completely stunned that K-State isn’t favored at home against an Iowa State team that has an identical 7-4 record coming into this matchup. I know the Cyclones have gone 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings, but Iowa State is also an uninspiring 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall while Kansas State has gone a blistering 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up win and an equally impressive 8-3 ATS in their last 11 home games. Again…I’m shocked Iowa State is even favored in this week 14 Big 12 battle, but that just makes Kansas State that much more attractive as a home dog. I’m going with the Wildcats to hold it down at home.
