Kansas State vs. BYU Prediction

I’m on BYU here. I get the case for Kansas State as this Wildcats team is still a solid group from a talent perspective, but the Wildcats’ offense can be so wildly inconsistent that it’s hard to get a read on this team more often than not. BYU can light it up from outside and this Cougars team is a far more efficient team at home than on the road. Give me BYU in this one to get the job done.
