00:00Joe, it's our fourth and final rank versus rank top 25 tilt, but it loses a little bit

00:08of its luster with both teams looking pretty poor a week ago, Oklahoma State at home in

00:14Stillwater where they are great losing to a camp rising less Utah team at a pick them

00:21football game.

00:22K State found out what a lot of us know late night in Provo is a disaster.

00:27Kansas State got hammered 38 to nine against BYU last week as a road favorite.

00:34This line has been all over the place.

00:36Five and a half was there.

00:37It's now four and a hook in favor of the Wildcats.

00:40Joe, this game important because both teams need it to stay in big 12 title game contention.

00:46Who gets it today in a little apple?

00:47I think Oklahoma State bounces back and gets the outright win.

00:50I like them plus four and a half.

00:51I like them on the money line.

00:53I also really liked the over 57 and a half in regards to this matchup.

00:57I think they have the more complete quarterback Bowman.

00:59I still don't believe in Alan Bowman, big picture guys, but I believe in him in regards

01:04to this matchup.

01:05Avery Johnson and that offense limited only averaging around 160 passing yards per game.

01:11Here's the biggest thing too.

01:12You got to feed the beast.

01:13You got to get Ali Gordon involved.

01:15He's only averaging three and a half yards per carry, no touchdowns in the last couple

01:19of games.

01:20I think they're able to run the football, work off a play action.

01:23They've won four of the last five in the series.

01:25They won last year in still water, 29, 21, but I'm liking the over more and more because

01:31that Oak State defense cab is given up well over 400 yards per game.

01:36That's the difference as well.

01:37I think K-State will be able to run it as well, but I think Oklahoma State steals it.

01:41I like the under in this game at 57 and a half.

01:43I think Kansas State's defense is legit.

01:45I've preseason didn't feel this way.

01:48I know that everyone would be surprised.

01:51I say this after the BYU loss.

01:53I think K-State's the best team in the big 12 with what I've seen early season.

01:56The 38 points hung by BYU is about as fraudulent as it gets.

02:00Scoop and score, punt return, touchdown, and then multiple short field touchdowns following

02:05interceptions that were made by Avery Johnson.

02:08I think due to those interceptions by Avery Johnson, it's a super conservative game plan

02:12from K-State running the football with Avery and DJ Giddens here.

02:16As far as Oklahoma State goes, look, I am not afraid to back my guys as we just came

02:22off of that Michigan segment.

02:25I'm done with Oklahoma State.

02:28I don't know what's going on.

02:30I don't know what happened.

02:32Here's the thing, right?

02:33I'm okay being wrong.

02:35It'll happen plenty of times.

02:36It'll happen today.

02:37It'll happen tomorrow.

02:38It'll happen Monday.

02:39Maybe not Monday.

02:40Monday, we might see it clearly.

02:41We don't know.

02:42But Ollie Corden has gone from maybe the best back to legitimately bad.

02:49That doesn't make any sense.

02:50The whole offensive line's back.

02:52The quarterback's back.

02:53The wide receiver room is back.

02:54This has not been, oh, well, Utah shut him down.

02:57He couldn't get going against Tulsa, Arkansas, South Dakota State.

03:01Why is he going to get it going here against K-State?

03:03Well, because I think there will be more of a concerted effort.

03:06I thought GameFlow actually took him out of a couple games.

03:09The game that they played Arkansas, Arkansas jumps up to a two-score lead, and then Bowman,

03:14they get to pick six at the end.

03:16Time of possession in that first half.

03:19Teams are taking away Ollie Corden.

03:20I'll say this, you know, now you have an opportunity, especially on the road.

03:24You want to feed the beast, give them multiple opportunities to touch the rock.

03:29And I think this is a back-and-forth game.

03:31I think we go, again, high 50s.

03:33I could be wrong, but come back, Ollie.

03:35I see you clearly.

03:36I think Oklahoma State's a helter-skelter team.

03:39Every other week, you have to bet them.

03:41Oklahoma State, 11-6 against the spread as an underdog since 2021.

03:46Here's Chris Kleiman.

03:47Despite the result last week in Provo, K-State the best cover team in Big 12 play, 29-16-3

03:54against the spread.
