Weasel,
I will say that even though I think K State is playing the best ball in the Big XII right now, they've played two already demoralized opponents, both at the Litter Box, in Iowa State and Nebraska. Mizzou needs this game badly, and I think Mizzou +14 is the strongest play of the entire board this week.
The only question I have about this is Mizzou's secondary. They are young and average at best, but Mizzou plays everyone tough in Columbia. They have only lost by 7 at home this year, to Oklahoma and Colorado respectively, and they obviously were in a position to win both of those games with OU doing that fake FG and CU winning in OT.
All the moolah is on K State, too. Opens at K State -9' and shoots up to 13'. That kind of line movement is very hard to go AGAINST, but I think that's playing right into a Mizzou cover's hands. Iowa State has been exposed for what they are, a decent team, but certainly no road team. They played well against Texas on the road, but that's about it. They did play pretty well in Boulder, too, but they are an average team with no size on defense. Nebraska, of course, has their heads in their hands and K State really wanted to kick them while they are down - TYPICAL BILL SNYDER. K State has beaten up on two average teams both at the Litter Box.
I think K State will probably win, but that is no sure thing at all. I will ride Mizzou all the way to the bank.
Thanks for the compliment on the Buffs. Yes, the Buffs are closing strongly. Can't wait to see what happens in Lincoln. I swear if CU goes in there and beats Nebraska in Lincoln they will have Solich's head on a platter. CU will still not be able to beat Oklahoma in Houston for the title though. Oklahoma will shut CU down as we can't pass against anyone, and OU will shut down the Buff run or at least keep it in check.
