Kansas State Hanging Around In Big 12 Race

After losing their conference opener to BYU in late September, the Kansas State Wildcats had very little margin for error in the race to reach the Big 12 title game. But Kansas State has hung around in that race, winning four straight games to stay in the top-three in the league standings. K-State was held to nine points by BYU, but has scored 29 or more points in each of their four conference games since then. Running back DJ Giddens should eclipse the 1,000 yard mark for the season in this game for the Wildcats, as another big offensive performance could move K-State to 5-1 in the Big 12.

Houston Looks For Second Straight Win

Houston is just 3-5 overall this season, but they have won two of their last three games against conference opponents. The Cougars have recent wins over TCU and Utah under their belts, putting them within one win of getting back to .500 in conference play for the year. The fact that Houston played a Utah team with a severely compromised Cam Rising last week was beneficial for them, but Houston's defense will have to play just as well against a K-State team with a healthy set of offensive leaders to win this game.

Kansas State vs Houston Prediction

Houston's recent turnaround in the Big 12 has been admirable, we just aren't sure how sustainable it is going into this Kansas State vs Houston matchup. The Wildcats are operating at a high level offensively, which should help them to create separation in this game. Look for K-State to win and cover the spread on the road, as they should get an eighth win on the season and stay well within the top-20 in this year's college football rankings.
