ASA free bet Sept 25 K-St vs Ok St

#369 ASA PLAY ON Kansas State +6 over Oklahoma State, Saturday at 7 PM ET

We’ve been thoroughly impressed with KSU this season.  We love their head coach Chris Klieman who is now in his 3rd year here after leading FCS power North Dakota State to a 69-6 record in his 5 years as head man at that program.  This team is flying under the radar despite big wins over two very good teams Stanford and Nevada.  Those wins came by margins of 17 points and 21 points respectively.  Stanford has since beaten USC handily and Nevada has a road win @ California this season.  Starting QB Thompson went down for KSU a few weeks ago but his replacement Will Howard has lots of experience and has played very well including in last week’s win vs Nevada where he completed 70% of his passes and had 56 yards rushing.  We like KSU in the trenches here as they rank 19th nationally in rushing (226 YPG) and 5th nationally in stopping the run (55 YPG).  OSU is off a big road win at Boise 21-20 blocking a Bronco FG attempt with just 2:00 minutes to go.  The Cowboys haven’t been dominating by any stretch despite their 3-0 record.  All of their games have been decided by a TD or less including wins vs Missouri State & Tulsa.  They are really banged up at WR with 4 potentially out which has made it tough on their passing attack (just 190 YPG).  KSU is 19-6 ATS in this series and a perfect 7-0 ATS as a dog of more than 4 points.  This is a big revenger for Kansas State as well after losing 20-18 at home to OSU last season.  We expect another tight game and taking nearly a TD with KSU is the way to go here.
