ROGERS BIG 12 GAME OF THE YEAR - 23-5 RECORD - FRIDAY!
(NCAAF) Wildcats (ARI) vs. Wildcats (KST),
Point Spread: -7.50 | -108.00 Wildcats (KST) (Home)
Result: Win
At 8:00pm ET, my Big 12 GOY is on K-State. Both these teams are 2-0 SU but 0-2 ATS. Arizona wasn't able to cover the 28-point spread over New Mexico in its 61-39 victory in Week 1, or in its 22-10 victory over Northern Arizona as a 37-point favorite. I'm expecting the underwhelming (Arizona) Wildcats to once again struggle in their first road game of the season and also their first foray into Big 12 play. Arizona QB Noah Fifita has been "OK," going 37 of 57 so far with a 5:2 TD:INT, but the defense has yet to be truly tested. This could be a very real problem, as AZ features four new starters up front on the defensive line this season. Arizona also has a new coach. K-State enters looking to move to 3-0 after beating Tulane 34-27 last time out. As mentioned, K-State has also been unable to cover the spread yet this season, but that's only also helped in driving this line down a bit lower than it normally would or should be in my opinion. I had marked the (K-State) Wildcats down as -10 for this game going into the season. The Cats were trailing by double-digits against Tulane and rallied to come back. That will serve them well here. Loaded on defense, K-State is a legitimate contender to win the Big 12. They have an experienced coach who knows his team. They are 4-0 ATS their last 4 Big 12 home openers. More talented, healthier and playing at Bill Snyder Family Stadium, look for Kansas State to pull away and take over this game down the stretch.
