Oklahoma State vs. Kansas State Same Game Parlay Picks, Odds & Predictions Recap

With 17 points on the board and the Oklahoma State Cowboys holding a 10-7 lead over the Kansas State Wildcats, things were looking real good for us with 10+ minutes remaining in the second quarter. Then to get us even more amped about our positions on OK-State plus the points and the over, the Cowboys came up with an interception of Avery Johnson on the Wildcats first play of the possession following the visitors taking their first lead of the game. Unfortunately, Oklahoma State’s play-calling proved to be wretched ultimately forcing them to settle for a 31-yard chip shot from Logan Ward to get out to a 13-7 lead. I made mention of how disturbed I was of Oklahoma State’s lack of a killer instinct on Twitter knowing full well it would play a role in how the game ultimately played out.

So, I took a live position on the Wildcats and boy was I happy I did. Kansas State would go on to score 14 straight points on six total plays to take a 21-13 lead with them into halftime. It only got worse from there after the Wildcats rattled off 21 more points before the Cowboys finally hit the board again at the 1:58 mark in the fourth quarter. As pathetic a showing it proved to be, that final touchdown drive helped us avoid taking the collar with Trent Howland’s 14-yard touchdown scamper pushing the combined score over the steamed 58-point total. The 42-20 final score saw us split against the NCAAF odds at BetMGM Sportsbook allowing us to live to fight another day. Mike Gundy appears to have one of the weakest rosters he’s had in quite some time, which is promising for my futures bet on the team finishing out the year with less than eight regular season wins.

With the No. 20 Oklahoma State Cowboys and No. 23 Kansas State Wildcats each going down in defeat in their respective Big 12 openers, tensions will be high when their paths cross at Bill Snyder Family Stadium in the Little Apple early Saturday afternoon. Though the Cowpokes put forth a valiant late-game effort to get back into the game against Utah, Mike Gundy’s kids were never in a position to topple the Utes in falling 22-19 as short home dogs. Chris Klieman’s kids looked to be in control through a quarter of play at BYU leading 6-0 with the ball, but in a shocking turn of events, the Coogs rattled off 31 straight points to cruise to the impressive 38-9 outright win as 7.5-point home dogs sending the Wildcats back home with their tail between their legs.  

BetMGM Sportsbook opened the NCAAF odds for this critical Big 12 clash with the Wildcats installed 5-point home favorites and the total lined 52. Though current action reports relay heavy support in favor of the home team with K-State taking in upwards of 70 percent of the bets and 85+ percent of the money, reverse betting line movement has forced a market correction down to -4.5. Total bettors look to be of the belief points hit the board with 90+ percent of the booked handle on the over forcing a line move up to 55. The Cowpokes have held the upper hand of this conference rivalry coming out on top in four of the rival’s last five meetings (3-2 ATS) with the under paying out four times and an average of 45.2 points hitting the board.

Reduced juice betting is one of the best ways for any sports bettor to save money and far too many people don’t take advantage of it. If you are not playing at a sportsbook that offers reduced juice betting then you are simply giving away money.

Oklahoma State Cowboys vs. Kansas State Wildcats CFB Same Game Parlay:

It’s likely a bit too premature to call this a must win for either side, but the team that comes out on the short end will have a whale of a time getting back into the Big 12 title race—crazy considering each of Oklahoma State (+1200) and Kansas State (+350) were a handful of the expected favorites to compete for conference bragging rights at the outset of the CFB betting season! That being said, I think it’s the visiting Cowboys that have more to prove heading into this one. It got manhandled by the Utes on its own turf last week, while the Wildcats got the tables turned on them in Provo where BYU has upset many a team in the past. Even after winning the turnover battle 3-2, OK-State still went on to get outgained 457-285 without Cam Rising under center and lost the time of possession battle by an absurd 24+ minutes. Extremely befuddling was the fact that the Cowboys only decided to utilize Ollie Gordon II a grand total of 11 times. He made mention and was none too pleased about the limited work in his postgame presser. K-State is tough to run on (#15), but Gordon got the Wildcats for 136 yards and 6.5 yards per carry with a score last season, so he’ll enter this match confident and play with a chip on his shoulder.

Also adding to my belief that Oklahoma State represents well is Alan Bowman and the Cowpokes passing attack excelling through its first four games. Though the running game figured to be the offense’s bread and butter heading into the year, it’s been exactly the opposite with the aerial attack ranked 15^th overall in averaging 310 yards per game and the ground game grossly underperforming going for a pedestrian 96.3 yards per game (#115) and 3.1 yards per carry (#104). As already mentioned, the Wildcats have been a brick wall defending the run (#15), but that hasn’t been the case through the air with its opposition ripping the secondary for nearly 215 yards per game (#76) and a hefty 8.3 yards per pass attempt (#101). Combined, these teams are averaging 8.0 red zone attempts per game and allowing 7.3 with Oklahoma State 44^th and Kansas State 55^th in red zone scoring percentage. While each team rates out in the upper half of the country in opponent red zone scoring percentage, and the home team is likely to run wild on the Cowpokes porous run D (#103) with Avery Johnson and DJ Giddens, this has back and forth slobberknocker written all over it with the last team holding possession of the pigskin in line to win the game. With that, I’ll take the points and hit the over and look to take back points with K-State in-game in hopes of creating a middle opportunity.

• OKLAHOMA STATE COWBOYS (+5)
• OVER 55
