Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s'college football odds around the Kansas State vs. BYU odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
The Wildcats are coming off an impressive win over Arizona in the conference opener Sept. 13, winning 31-7 as 7-point favorites. After falling behind 7-0 midway through the 1st quarter, K-State outpaced Arizona 31-0 for the final 52:34.
Kansas State was able to rack up 235 rushing yards and 391 total yards, while committing just 3 penalties in the win Friday. Dual-threat QB Avery Johnson completed 14 of 23 passes for 156 yards, 2 TDs and 0 INTs, while leading the team with 110 rushing yards on 17 attempts.
The defense deserves a tip of the cap, too, though. K-State was suffocating, allowing just 56 rushing yards while winning the turnover battle with a plus-1 ratio. While dynamic Arizona WR Tetairoa McMillan went for 11 catches and 138 yards, most of the damage was with the game well out of hand.
