Randy’s Free Pick
The Kansas State Wildcats are a feisty team that’s terrific at home both SU and ATS, and you know the crowd will be out for this one. However, Baylor is the more trustworthy team with the talent edge, and you don’t get lines this soft with them often. KSU is 1-5 ATS when an underdog of less than 5 points. Give me Baylor.
