00:03 Pop Tarts Bowl up next 5.45 PM Eastern here Kansas State going up against NC State.

00:08 We also had some big time line movement in this game.

00:11 Kansas State opened up at the FanBlue Sportsbook a minus six and a half point favorite.

00:15 That's now down to minus one and a half in a total of 47 and a half.

00:20 Kansas State, NC State bowl transfers what gives in this game for us, Ben?

00:25 Yeah, some bowl transfers for NC State. MJ Morris, who was their young talented sophomore

00:30 quarterback for most of this year, led them to a couple of wins in a row as NC State started to

00:36 find their groove midway through the season. Then announced he was going to redshirt to then

00:41 enter the transfer portal, which he did. He's now the quarterback at Maryland. But Brendan Armstrong,

00:46 the transfer from Virginia, should be able to hold this NC State team together as he did down

00:52 the stretch in the final few games. Where NC State this year as an underdog was sensational.

00:57 Five and two against the number as a dog. They won their last five games entering the Pop Tart

01:02 Bowl today. Four of those five outright as a dog. Now, K-State as an underdog, or as a favorite this

01:09 year, two and three against the number. Lost two of those games outright, both booked as a single

01:14 digit favorite. Two and three against the spread as a single digit favorite, I should say. It will

01:18 be a new era for the Cats under Chris Klyman today. They're going to start their talented

01:23 young quarterback, Avery Johnson, with Will Howard in the transfer portal. That should be fun. That

01:29 should be a preview of the future in the Little Apple in Manhattan. But I like NC State to win

01:35 outright as the underdog once again in the Pop Tart Bowl. Dave Doran, the head coach for the Pack,

01:41 all in to this game. Loves the trophy that has the two toaster spots for the Pop Tarts in it.

01:47 Don't forget you get to eat the live mascot that I think is rumored to be the strawberry

01:52 frosted flavor of the Pop Tarts today. The Pop Tart Bowl is leaning in. It's going to

01:58 be sensational and I think the Wolf Pack pull off the slight upset as the one and a half point dog.
