      Missing a score prediction (unlike other articles), but the writer picks K-State.  The key is to both teams will be run defense.  In my opinion, if either team has to rely on the passing game, they’re sunk.  It’s whoever can run the ball that will win (and unfortunately, our run defense the last few seasons hasn’t exactly inspired confidence).

      Kansas is favored by 3, right?  Yet the ESPN estimate right now is that Stanford has a 56.8% chance to win.  Isn’t that kinda weird?  Does that happen a lot?  I presume different organizations are providing those figures, but still, you would think the team that is favored would be more likely to win.

      By the way, the over/under is 53 so, with a 3 point spread, the estimated final score will be 28 to 25 in favor of Kansas.  I will be interested to watch the game tomorrow.  I really didn’t watch last year’s covid-wracked season.  All the games felt like pre-season or exhibition games.

      From what I’ve read, the game will be largely determined by the running game and each team’s respective ability to stop the other.  Apparently, our run defense is suspect (and that is, I think, a euphemism).  But our run offense is strong.  I think it might turn out to be a good game to watch.

      The game day guys were split. Some picked k state, some Stanford.  If you discount corso’s vote then they probably went kstate.
