Kansas State is a 2.5-point underdog on the Week 13 college football betting lines. This should be a great game that could go either way, but Kansas State’s experience and strong road play could give the Wildcats an edge as the small underdog in this one.
OddsShark Computer Prediction: Kansas State 29.6, West Virginia 28.3
With only one loss on the season heading into its road game against TCU earlier this month, Kansas State still had a shot at being a Playoff team and winning the Big 12 this year. But the Wildcats fell to 7-2 straight up and 6-3 ATS on the season after losing to TCU 41-20. The loss broke a 6-0 ATS run for Kansas State and was the first time the team failed to cover as an underdog. The Wildcats are 2-0 SU and ATS in their last two games against West Virginia.
At 6-4 SU and ATS, West Virginia has had a solid bounce-back season after winning just four games a season ago. The Mountaineers played hard in losses and covers against Alabama and TCU and handed the Baylor Bears their only loss of the season in a 41-27 win at home. A 33-16 road loss to Texas in their last game was the worst game of the season so far for the Mountaineers. West Virginia is just 2-5 SU and ATS in its last seven home games against Big 12 opponents.
This matchup is a tough one to call, as indicated by the 2.5-point line at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. Both teams are coming off their worst loss of the season and both have played well up to this point. In a game that will likely come down to a big play or two, look for Kansas State’s Jake Waters to protect the football and lead his team to a hard-fought victory.
