The final week of the regular season in the Big 12 has the Kansas State Wildcats (8-3, 5-3 Big 12) on the road facing the No. 17 Iowa State Cyclones (9-2, 6-2). Kickoff Saturday from Jack Trice Stadium is at 7:30 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds around the Kansas State vs. Iowa State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
Kansas State bounced back last week from 2 consecutive losses to beat the Cincinnati Bearcast 41-15 at home, covering the 7.5-point spread as favorites. At 5-3 in the conference, to make the Big 12 Championship, the Wildcats need a win over the Cyclones and at least two of the other 6-2 teams in the conference (Arizona State, Colorado, BYU) to lose as well.
Iowa State won for the second consecutive week after 2 straight losses, beating the Utah Utes 31-28 in Salt Lake, but failing to cover the 6.5-point spread as favorites. A win almost guarantees a spot in the Big 12 title game.

I like the Cyclones to win but, as all their wins have been by at least 3 points, you get a little more value with the spread.
