<b>Outlook for Saturday Night Kickoff </b>
</p>
<p>
Kansas State entered the top 25 after their last win, which was an impressive one beating Mississippi State from the SEC on the road 31-24. They have been solid on both sides of the ball on the young season, and this is their first Big 12 game. They are led by a rushing offense that ranks 7th in the nation average 280 rushing yards per game.
</p>
<p>
Oklahoma State suffered their first loss of the season in their last game but put up a fight doing it. They lost to 12th ranked Texas 36-30 on the road, and while they have the offense, their defense is a concern. Like KSU the Cowboys are led by a ground game that is averaging 270.5 rushing yards per game.
</p>
<p>
Last season at home Kansas State beat Oklahoma State 31-12 and in their previous visit to Stillwater in the 2017 season they upset the 13th ranked Cowboys beating them 45-40 in a shootout. Every game in the Big 12 is tough, and Oklahoma State is already 0-1 in conference play but after this game does not face a currently ranked team until they host Oklahoma in their season finale.

<h2>
When Kansas State Has the Ball<br />
</h2>
<p>
Obviously, Kansas State will look to run the ball when they have possession, as while they rank 7th in the nation in rushing yards per game they only rank 112th in passing yards per game. In their 31-24 road win over Mississippi State in their last match, they were outgained 352 yards to 269 yards and had fewer rushing yards (146 to 201) but got a 100-yard kickoff return TD and forced three turnovers while also having three of them. Skylar Thompson was 10 for 18 for 123 yards, and James Gilbert led the team with 59 rushing yards, but only averaged 3.5 yards per carry. Gilbert had rushed for at least 103 yards in his previous game, and RB Jordon Brown has 154 rushing yards this season. These guys will get their touches facing an Oklahoma State run defense that only ranks 92nd in the nation and gave up 217 rushing yards in their last game.

When Oklahoma State Has the Ball<br />
</h2>
<p>
The Cowboys have a more balanced offense but will also look to establish the run with Chuba Hubbard, who came into last week’s game against Texas as the nation’s leading rusher. While he rushed for 121 yards, he only averaged 3.3 yards per carry and was stuffed on scoring drives early and late in the game. Spencer Sanders passed for 268 yards but did not have any TD and was picked off twice. This season is Hubbard's first year as the starting running back and last season he had one run for six yards, as a freshman, in the loss to Kansas State. He will get a lot of action in this game facing a Kansas State run defense that gave up over 200 rushing yards in their last game.
</p>
<h2>
Betting Trends<br />
</h2>
<p>
Something has got to give in this game, as Kansas State is 3-0 ATS so far on the season and OSU is 4-0 ATS and covered even in losing their last game. The Wildcats have not only covered the spread in seven of their previous eight games facing the Cowboys but have covered in their past five games facing them at Stillwater. Still, they face an Oklahoma State team that has covered in their last five home games and in their previous four games overall. Last season in the Kansas State home win the total went Under, but in the past six games between these Big 12 rivals at Oklahoma State, the total has gone Over every time.
