The current betting odds have Kansas State listed as an 11 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Kansas State is 3-1 this season and won their last game which was also their 1st game of conference play. Now they are on the road but also coming out of their bye week so they will be prepared to take down a struggling OK State team here. Oklahoma State is only 2-2 this season but they are 0-1 against Big 12 opponents with a loss to Iowa State in their last game and they have had some major issues at QB this year as they are still trying to figure out who their guy is. Kansas State has a really good team with a great offense that can put up points and Oklahoma State doesn't really have a great defense to stop this K State offense. Kansas State doesn't have the best defense but with the struggles Oklahoma State has had on offense this season, Kansas State will get the stops they need here and eventually they will pull away in this game to the point where there will be no way back in this game for OK State. The best way to place a bet here is on Kansas State to cover the spread in this game.
