Kansas State vs Oklahoma Prediction
The current betting odds have Kansas State listed as a PK in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Kansas State enters this game as a ranked team with a 19-6 record overall this season. They haven't been great in their road games with a 3-5 road record but they have been one of the better teams in the Big 12 with their 7-5 conference record. They did just lose a road game in their last one too but that will motivate them more to bounce back in this road game against one of the worst teams in the Big 12 right now. Oklahoma has been struggling a lot this season with their losing 12-13 record overall but they haven't even been that good at home either with a 7-6 home record. They are only 2-10 in their conference play this season and they have no momentum with 4 losses in a row now, struggling to even win a game ever since pulling off the upset over Alabama. Oklahoma is in a bad place right now as they can't get anything going right for them while Kansas State has been having a great season with a great team and they will be motivated for a bounce back win here. The best way to place a bet here is on Kansas State to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes
“First of all, congratulations to coach Adams and Texas Tech. They were the tougher team tonight and did a better job of executing down the stretch. I'm very thankful to be coaching my guys and being at Texas Tech. I'm a very blessed man and I'm very thankful for that. Very disappointed that we gave the ball away as many times as we did today. Obviously they get some credit for that. But most, a lot of it, was just we weren't tough enough. And they exposed that and so we're gonna be better on Tuesday.” - Jerome Tang after his team’s loss against Texas Tech in their last game.
“I thought we came out playing the right way. We jumped out to a lead. I thought our defense was really good in the beginning.” - Porter Moser after his team’s loss against Kansas in their last game.
