Oklahoma State Cowboys vs. Kansas State Wildcats Key Stats
The only plus money available in this game is on Oklahoma State to win. It's not often bettors get the opportunity for a top 10 team like the Cowboys to be an underdog like this. Quarterback health is going to be a hot topic surrounding this matchup. It's been speculated that Oklahoma State QB Spencer Sanders has been playing through an injury the last couple of weeks, but it hasn't shown in his statlines. Last week, he tallied 400 yards and 2 touchdowns in a comeback win against Texas. Kansas State's starting QB left the game last week with a leg injury in the first quarter and will most likely leave the game in the hands of back-up QBs.
The Cowboys have had no shortage of excitement from their passing game this season; Sanders has over 2,000 yards this season. The ground game is where the Cowboys lose power and are missing production; RB Dominic Richardson leads out of the backfield with 450 yards but 8 touchdowns. Freshman Jaden Nixon saw some action last week and might be the RB selection this week while the Cowboys desperately need to help out Sanders, who will be under heavy defensive line pressure all game.
The Wildcats offense comes back to the availability of QB Adrian Martinez. If he's somehow able to return at 100%, the offense will have a dangerous option-focused spark. If left to back-up QB Howard, the passing game (OK State's kryptonite) will be on full display. Either way, Oklahoma State's defense will be under full pressure on every play to take advantage of a sketchy QB situation.
Oklahoma State Cowboys vs. Kansas State Wildcats Betting Prediction
Expect a strong showing from Spencer Sanders as he takes advantage of the Wildcats' defense who gives up big plays in the air. He will own the pocket and get it done in a must-win game for the upset. The Kansas State offense is going to be competent no matter the QB. Expect this to be a close game all the way through. Oklahoma State's defense will make some big-time stops and the Cowboys will win on the plus money.
Prediction: Oklahoma State Moneyline (+100), Spencer Sanders Over 235.5 passing yards (-114)
