Kansas State Wildcats vs Iowa State Cyclones Prediction, Odds and Picks for Saturday, 11/30/24

The Kansas State Wildcats take on the Iowa State Cyclones in a matchup with major Big 12 championship implications. Numbers aside, Kansas State has been more inconsistent all throughout this season whereas you know exactly what you’re getting with the Cyclones. Iowa State has been one of the most well-rounded teams in the country this year ranking top-30 in both EPA/rush and EPA/dropback offensively. Defensively, Iowa State has been solid as well ranking 22nd in net points per drive allowed top-10 in EPA/dropback allowed.

The run defense has been questionable in recent weeks, but the passing game has the ability to simply out-pace the Wildcats’ run-first approach. In a matchup that could decide the Big 12 title race, I’ll take the home team that has been fantastic at closing out games, ranking top-5 in 2nd half point margin. It’s slightly juiced, but I’ll take the moneyline straight up rather than risking any buffoonery on the 2-point spread.
