Kansas State vs Butler Betting Prediction
Kansas State have hit the Over in all their five previous road games against teams who possessed a good home win percentage. They are 5-0 against the spread in their previous games on the road.
The Butler Bulldogs have hit the over in all of their previous four games, in which they ended up losing a tie. These are teams with a great pedigree of scoring, and I believe the over should be a great bet on this one.
Pick: Over 134.5 (-115)
