NBC Sports Bet Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) has the following best bets for Saturday’s matchup between the Kansas State Wildcats and Oklahoma State Cowboys:

“Oklahoma State’s first three quarters at home against Utah doesn’t give anyone confidence in the Cowboys, while Kansas State’s effort at BYU wasn’t any better.

This is a tough game, but I do believe K-State is favored by more than a field goal for a reason. Oklahoma State has not been able to get the offensive line going for Ollie Gordon, who had 22 touchdowns last season.

Oklahoma State played one true road game at Tulsa (45-10 win) this season, so this will be a tough test. Kansas State lost 29-21 to Oklahoma State last year. The Cowboys needed a pick-six before the end of the half, plus five field goals and a Gordon touchdown to win that game.

I don’t think Oklahoma State’s offense can muster up that many scores here, so I will take Kansas State -4.5 and lean the Under.”
