ASA PLAY ON 8* West Virginia Mountaineers (-) over Kansas State Wildcats, Saturday at 12:00 PM ET: Game #118

Kansas State is off a big win over the Jayhawks. Of course Kansas is a bad football team but that is still a big game every year for the Wildcats as that is their long-time in-state rival. Off that big win, Kansas State is in trouble here as they face a Mountaineers team that comes in angry off a loss at Texas Tech. West Virginia outgained the Red Raiders by nearly 100 yards but were done in by a late fumble return for a touchdown! The Mountaineers are allowing only 262 yards per game this season and the Wildcats go from facing a bad Kansas team to now facing what has been one of the top defenses in the nation so far this season. The Mountaineers have covered each of the last 3 meetings between these teams and have 4 straight SU wins in the series as well. The Wildcats are playing their 6th game this season and so far have won the yardage battle in only 1 game this season! On the other hand, West Virginia is averaging 461 and allowing only 262 per game. The markets are a bit enamored with Kansas State here because their big win over the Jayhawks was their 4th straight cover. That is keeping this line lower than is should be and the marketplace has a short attention span and simply sees West Virginia as the team that lost to Texas Tech last week. That leads to value in a spot like this as our computer math model is forecasting a big win by a double digit margin for the home team in this one. Lay the points and look for a blowout home win in this Saturday early afternoon Big 12 match-up.
