And if you’re looking to wager on this weekend’s game, there’s one team that FOX Sports betting analyst Chris “The Bear” Fallica has his eye on.
“My first pick probably will not go over well with my friends in Ames, as I am an unofficial ambassador there — but I do like the Purple Cats in this one,” Fallica wrote about the Kansas State-Iowa State tilt.
“Defensively, the Cyclones allowed 5.4 yards per carry last year, which was 126th nationally. Whether that was due to linebacker injuries or the 3-3-3 scheme, we’ll see. If they can’t win the early downs on defense, and allow Avery Johnson, Dylan Edwards and Gabe Ervin to look at third-and-2 all game, K-State will be hard to stop.”
