Oklahoma State vs Kansas Prediction

The current betting odds have Oklahoma State listed as a 2 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Oklahoma State just took a very embarrassing loss in their last game as they were shutout 48-0 by Kansas State. Now they roll into Kansas but they will make sure that doesn't happen again as they look to bounce back from that loss. Kansas started the season very strong with 5 wins in a row but they have quickly faded in conference play losing their last 3 games now. They also lost their starting QB a few weeks ago and that is really when they started to lose some games. Now they are getting an angry Oklahoma State team looking to bounce back and their defense is going to want to show a much better performance here. Kansas will struggle on offense to move the ball in this game and it will be a nice game for this Oklahoma State team to get some redemption from last week. The best way to place a bet here is on Oklahoma State to cover the spread in this game.
