K State vs Ok State Recent Results

Date Location Oklahoma State (OKST) Kansas State (KSU)
10/29/2022 Manhattan, KS 0 48
9/25/2021 Stillwater, OK 31 20
11/7/2020 Manhattan, KS 20 18
9/28/2019 Stillwater, OK 26 13
10/13/2018 Manhattan, KS 12 31

Wildcats Betting Analysis

Kansas State has had a strong start to the season, posting a 3-1 record, which includes a 44-31 win over No. 15-ranked UCF back in Week 4. The Wildcats are entering Friday night college football following a bye in Week 6.

Kansas State’s offense has been the team’s biggest strength this season, averaging 44.0 points per game (tied for 6th) and 283.8 passing yards per game (tied for 27th). Quarterback Will Howard has thrown for 1,072 yards and eight TDs with four interceptions, while WR Ben Sinnott has recorded 16 catches for 247 yards,

Kansas State’s weakness is their pass defense which ranks at the bottom of the country, giving up over 260 passing yards a game. In K-State lone loss this season to Missouri, they allowed Tigers’ QB Brady Cook to throw for 356 yards and two touchdowns in a 30-27 final.

Cowboys Betting Analysis

Oklahoma State has had a more challenging start to the 2023 college football campaign, posting a 2-2 record that includes a 34-27 loss to Iowa State the last time they took the field. Just like their Friday night opposition, the Cowboys also enjoyed a bye in Week 6.

Oklahoma State’s offense has really struggled this season, averaging only 22.0 points per game (102nd) and 221.8 passing yards per game (89th). Their rushing attack has also been lackluster, averaging just 121.8 yards per game (103rd).

While the offense is struggling to generate anything, the defense has at least been competent. Ok State is allowing 23.8 points per game (tied for 68th) and have been solid in the secondary, allowing just 195.7 passing yards per game (44th).

Kansas State vs Oklahoma State Prediction

The line movement for this game tells you all need to know about the different directions these two teams are heading in this season. It’s really hard to buy into this OK State team when they’re doing things like losing 33-7 to South Alabama.

Here are some key betting trends to note for this Friday night CFB showdown:

  • Kansas State are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games
  • Oklahoma State are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games
  • Kansas State are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games against Oklahoma State

Everything is pointing to the Wildcats’ side in this one, and the question becomes whether or not they can win by two scores. When you consider their balanced offense (264 passing, 198 rushing), it’s hard to envision this struggling Cowboys’ attack keeping pace.

The player prop we are targeting for this game is Will Howard over 244.5 passing yards. He’s averaged 268 passing yards through four games this season and tossed for nearly 300 yards against this OK State defense one year ago.

Picks:

  • Kansas State -11.5 (-110)
  • Will Howard Over 244.5 Passing Yards (-115)
