Baylor at Kansas State picks and predictions
Prediction
Baylor 78, Kansas State 70
Moneyline
PASS.
There is more profit to be made on the Baylor spread.
Against the spread
BET BAYLOR -1.5 (-105).
The Bears have won 5 straight games and covered the spread in 4 of their last 5 and 7 of their last 10. They face a Kansas State team that struggles to generate offense while flourishing on the defensive side of the ball. The Wildcats are 2-2 ATS in their last 4 home games including a 16-point loss against Nebraska where they scored just 46 points. Baylor will overwhelm the Wildcats on the offensive end of the floor leading to a dominant road victory.

Over/Under
BET OVER 140.5 (-110).
As it stands, 140.5 would be the 2nd-lowest total in the past 10 games for Baylor. At that total, the Bears would have a 9-1 Over record in their past 10 while they have scored at least 70 points in 8 of its last 10. Kansas State has scored at least 69 points in 7 of its last 10. If this game comes down to Baylor having to carry the load, it is more than capable of doing so.
