Arizona vs. Kansas State Prediction
I’m laying it with Kansas State here. I’m still fairly high on the prospects of Noah Fifita and Tetairoa McMillan going forward, but I haven’t loved what I’ve seen from Arizona as a whole as they’ve been involved in a pair of close games against teams where it should not have been all that close. I think that Arizona might have some trouble going on the road to a tough environment in Manhattan and competing here. Give me K-State by a touchdown.
