Utah vs Kansas State Prediction 

Utah comes into this matchup on a three game winning streak and they have scored at least 42 points in four of their last five games. The Utes have an elite rushing attack and a great defense, and they are very hard to beat at home. Kansas State has won three of their last four games, but they barely got by a bad Okie State team last week. The Wildcats have a decent offensive attack, but I don’t think it’s good enough to have much success here. Take Utah to win big once again.
