BYU vs Kansas State Prediction
The Kansas State Wildcats are going to be favored because of the number next to their name, and they’re probably the more talented team. However, the BYU Cougars are still a physical defensive team, has some playmakers offensively and LaVell Edwards Stadium is never an easy place to play. BYU has also covered each of its last 5 Games and three straight as an underdog of 7 or more points. BYU outright beat SMU this season as a 12.5 point underdog. Kansas State should win, but I don’t expect BYU to go down quietly. I’ll grab the points with BYU at home.
