Iowa State Cyclones at Kansas State Wildcats Prediction

Kansas State battled Iowa State into the last minute before falling by 5 points but I'm not sold on them improving enough to get the win let alone cover the -3.5 handicap. The Wildcats have three wins at home to go along with three losses and while they did beat a good West Virginia team the other two victories came against Big 12 bottom feeders Oklahoma and Texas. The Cyclones are a ho-hum 3-3 on the road in conference play, but two of their three losses were by two points including a 65-63 road loss to Baylor and they have beaten Kansas.
