Kansas State at Oklahoma odds, picks and predictions
The Kansas State Wildcats (2-1) will face the Oklahoma Sooners (3-0) on Saturday at Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled at 8 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook's lines around the Kansas State vs. Oklahomaodds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
The Wildcats suffered their 1st loss of the season last week against Tulane, losing 17-10 in front of their home crowd. It's been a slow start to the season for QB Adrian Martinez and Kansas State's aerial attack on offense with only 1 TD in 3 games, which isn't necessarily a good sign ahead of a matchup with Oklahoma.
The Sooners have cruised through the first 3 weeks of the season against non-conference opponents, winning by a combined score of 127-30. QB Dillon Gabriel has been extremely efficient for Oklahoma thus far, completing 52 of his 78 passes for 759 yards and 7 TDs while he's yet to throw an interception.
Oklahoma is ranked No. 6 in the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Kansas State at Oklahoma picks and predictions
Prediction
Oklahoma 34, Kansas State 14
Money line
AVOID wagering on the money line in this game as Oklahoma's odds are at a number that isn't worth taking straight up. The Sooners look to be the more well-rounded program entering Week 4 of the college football season, but I can't advocate betting on them to win at -540 odds.
Against the spread
It will be the first Big 12 matchup of the season for the Sooners and they can make a statement with another lopsided victory. While Kansas State's defense is a strong unit, the passing attack has been lackluster, so give me OKLAHOMA -12.5 (-112) at home.
The Wildcats are 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 road games against a team with a winning record and the home team is 5-1 ATS in the previous 6 meetings between these programs.
Over/Under
Big 12 conference games tend to be high-scoring affairs, however, it's tough to expect a back-and-forth game between Kansas State and Oklahoma. UNDER 53.5 (-108) is where I'm going as the defense of the Sooners can give the offense of the Wildcats issues and coach Brent Venables has shown that he's content running the clock out when Oklahoma has a big lead, which I expect to be the case on Saturday night.
The Under is 4-0 in Kansas State's last 4 contests against a team with a winning record and the Under is 5-1 in the program's last 6 games. Also, the Wildcats and Sooners are a combined 6-0 to the Under this season.
