(NCAAF) Oklahoma State vs. Kansas State,
Point Spread: 13.50 | -110.00 Oklahoma State (Away)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* BIG 12 GAME OF THE YEAR on Oklahoma State.

What's happened to the Cowboys? Oklahoma State opened the year at No. 15 and has since fallen to an unranked position in the polls after back to back losses. K-State comes into this contest as No. 9 in the College Football Playoff Rankings. So can OK State rally here, find a way to get the job done and pull off the upset?! I'm not going to go out on a limb and call for the outright upset here, but I do definitely feel that the Cowboys will keep this one a lot closer than what the oddsmakers are leading us to believe. I jumped on the line when it first came out at +14, it's since dropped, but I still do love this selection. The Cowboys have obviously been struggling, but I think there is room to read between the lines; note that OK State's defense has in fact been better than anticipated. Creating turnovers, something the team excelled at last year in forcing 2.5 per contest, will be crucial for the visitors to keep this one close. If the Cowboys can force two or three, I feel they do in fact have a very legitimate shot at winning this one outright. Obviously it's not going to be easy, K-State QB Jake Waters is on a big roll right now. But, the Cowboys have some weapons of their own, receiver James Washington is a game-changer. From a motivational standpoint, this is definitely a big game for OK State; obviously an outright victory would be a huge mental boost for the university, but it would also mean that the team would be come bowl eligible with games vs. Texas, Baylor and Oklahoma remaining. I also believe that this sets up as a bit of a "lookahead" spot for the home side, the team is already bowl eligible and still has to play three ranked teams, ALL of which are on the road. Note Okahoma State is a perfect 3-0 ATS the last two years as an underdog in the 10.5 to 21 points range, while K-State is just 2-4 ATS as a home favorite in the 10.5 to 14 points ranges. Grab as many points as you can, all signs point to a comfortable cover for the COWBOYS.
