Kansas State at Oklahoma picks and predictions
Prediction
Kansas State 76, Oklahoma 72
Moneyline
KANSAS STATE (-110).
The Wildcats, despite their recent slump, are still in the hunt for the Big 12 title. Oklahoma has only 2 conference wins and the Wildcats should avoid a losing streak by going to Norman and beating the Sooners.
If you want to play it a bit safer, Kansas State plus the points is alright also. But I would not play them together.

Against the spread
KANSAS STATE +1.5 (-125).
Only play this if you do not play the Wildcats on the moneyline. K-State is 7-1 ATS in its last 8 Tuesday games. Oklahoma is 0-4 ATS in its last 4 overall. If these trends continue, an outright win is a certainty. I will save the .15 of juice and wager the ML for this reason.
Over/Under
TAKE OVER 140.5 (-115).
Oklahoma is good at coming back after a bad loss. In the past 5 instances where Oklahoma lost at home by double-digits, the Sooners game has gone Over in the next one.
K-State has also gone Over the total in 6 of its last 7 road games and have also gone Over in 14 of 17 road games against a team with a winning home record.
While Oklahoma is 282nd at 67.5 points per game, this is less then the 68.2 points normally given up by the Wildcats. The Sooners, at home, will outperform their average points and Kansas State, who is averaging 76.4 points, will get this game to go Over the 140.5 total.
