Kansas State vs Missouri Early Odds & Prediction
One-time Big 12 rivals square off when #15 Kansas State visits Missouri on Saturday at Faurot Field in Columbia as a three-point favorite over Mizzou. Both teams are off to 2-0 starts.
Will Howard threw for three touchdowns and ran for two more as Kansas State dispatched Troy 42-13 at home on Saturday. Howard finished 21-of-32 passing for 250 yards and added 33 yards rushing on eight carries.
That's S I X for @KStateFB's QB @whoward_ 👏🤩 pic.twitter.com/iItBEpeCKr

Missouri got past visiting Middle Tennessee State 23-19 as Brady Cook completed 14 of 19 passes for 204 yards and two TDs. He also ran for a score.
This line seems awfully light at three points. It would be wise to jump on Kansas State before it goes higher.
Pick: Kansas State -3 (-110)
Georgia vs South Carolina Early Odds & Prediction
#1 Georgia (2-0) opens SEC play by hosting South Carolina (1-1) at Sanford Stadium in Athens.
Walk-on Mekhi Mews’ 69-yard punt return for a touchdown sparked Georgia’s 45-3 rout of visiting Ball State on Saturday. The Bulldogs also intercepted three passes.

Spencer Rattler connected on 25 of 27 passing attempts for 345 yards and three touchdowns to help South Carolina dispatch in-state rival Furman 47-21 at home. He is averaging 348 yards passing over his last five games dating to last season after having a 198-yard average in his first 10 starts for the Gamecocks.
Georgia’s defense is awfully good. However, Rattler is hot and should enable South Carolina to sneak under the number.
Pick: South Carolina +27.5 (-110)
That’s Outta Line
Purdue has opened as a 2.5-point home favorite over Syracuse but that spread seems off. Though the Boilermakers (1-1) beat Virginia Tech 24-17 on the road Saturday, a strong case can be made that the Orange (2-0), who have outscored their first two opponents 113-7, are the better team and should be favored.
Pick: Syracuse +2.5 (-110)
Season record: 2-3 (-1.3 units) ATS
