Predictions for the score, game MVP and OSU’s uniform combo.

I picked Utah to win last week, but somehow I think OSU wins this week. Kansas St lost so much from last year, especially on their offensive line.
OSU 27
KSU 24
I have KSU winning by 2-3 touchdowns due to running QB, and OSU O line unable to spring Ollie. No telling how Bowman performs. If Pokes pull off an upset, then it becomes a different season.

Has KSU stopped scoring TD’s from the 2022 48-0 rout? I doubt it. OSU will get run off the field. Reason being, well, we just aren’t as good as we think we are. LAST in the Big 12 in run defense, way down the ranks in rushing offense, and we’re sitting around talking about conference championships and CFP appearances? Yeah, right. We are getting exposed is what’s happening.

Agree, we are not a good team. We just may get blown out again.

Giddens is averaging 6.1 yards per rush. OSU returns its entire OL and is lucky if they can get over 3.5 yards per rush. We also rank dead last in the conference in rush defense.
How in the world can a team that lost its entire OL rush the ball far better than a team that returned its OL and the best running back in the country? We should just hope we can score 10 points or more in the first half against a P4 opponent this season (we’ve yet to do so).
OSU is decent at rebounding after a loss, but I don’t know man. Something feels different about this team. I’ve gotta go with K State given it’s a home game and it’s always a tough game for us in Manhattan.
27-20 K State, hope I’m wrong though.
K State a lot OSU a little. This team is about to quit on the season, they might not crack 14 points. I’ll say 38 - 13 cats.

You are always stating facts that everyone knows. I did say in my comments “somehow I think OSU wins”. If that sounds like uncertainty, it is. I would not be surprised if OSU lost on the road to a B12 contender. It’s just a prediction. It’s not a bet. My bet was on Army -11.5 last night, which they cleared by halftime.

That’s fine, but how are they going to win? Like….what are you seeing or thinking will happen that others aren’t?
OSU has been hot/cold in big games. Sometimes they win, sometimes they lose. I picked Utah last week. This week I’m picking the pokes. If I’m wrong, then so be it. It’s not the end of the world. I bet on Army last night and they out rushed Temple 412 to -5. That was easy money. Who you betting on?
I’m taking Illinois to cover the 19.5 against Penn State.
