Kansas State vs. Texas Tech picks

Kansas State has been in some high-scoring games this season, so a score of over 56 points could happen in this matchup.

In the Wildcats' five games this season, the games are averaging 56.4 PPG, while in Texas Tech's six games this season, the games are averaging 57.1 PPG.

Also, Red Raiders quarterback Behren Morton to throw more than 1.5 passing touchdowns is a good pick. He has accomplished the feat in two out of his last three games.

Kansas State vs. Texas Tech prediction

Kansas State and Texas Tech have been inconsistent this season, but I like the Wildcats on the road in this matchup.

Kansas State has dominated this matchup as of late, while Will Howard had one of the worst games of his career last week, and the Wildcats still almost won. I expect a much better performance from Howard, who should be able to have a ton of success against this Red Raiders defense, which gives a ton of points.

In what should be a shootout, I'll take the better quarterback in Howard to lead his team to the win.

Prediction: Kansas State wins in a back-and-forth shootout.
