The Cyclones have started seven different offensive line combos in seven games, with freshman Daniel Burton being the only player to start every game for that particular unit.\u00a0 \u00a0 Iowa State is 95.2 percent in the red zone to lead the Big 12 Conference and rank sixth nationally.\u00a0 A total of 13 freshmen and sophomores have made starts for the program, , including quarterback Sam Richardson, who is averaging 193.6 passing yards per game.<\/p>\n

Kansas State snapped a three-game losing streak when picking up a 35-12 victory over the West Virginia Mountaineers as 13.5-point home favorites, while going UNDER The betting total for the fourth time in five contests.\u00a0 In close losses to North Dakota State, Oklahoma State and Baylor, the Wildcats held leads late in the games before dropping all three contests in the final three minutes.\u00a0 Offensively, the team is averaging 30.9 points per game, with a balanced attack through the air and on the ground.\u00a0 Kansas State is 4-2 SU and 5-1 ATS in November the last two-plus seasons, with the OVER going 4-2 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Wildcats are 47-17 in the month of November since 1991 under longtime head coach Bill Snyder, which can\u2019t be ignored when looking over the college football odds page.\u00a0 Since 1990, Kansas State\u2019s record is 142-27 when scoring first, including a 9-1 mark dating back to last season.\u00a0 The team is currently minus-eight in turnover margin, which is a far cry from its plus-19 figure in that category in 2012.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Cyclones due to their 7-3 ATS mark in their last 10 road games versus a team with a losing home record.<\/p>\n
