The current betting odds have Arizona State listed as a 9.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Arizona State has looked really good in their games this season with their 7-2 record overall and their 4-2 conference record which has them right near the top of the Big 12 and in the conversation for the Big 12 Championship. They haven't looked as good in their road games with their 2-2 road record, but they are coming off a win at home against UCF in their last one and will have some momentum from 2 wins in a row now. Meanwhile, Kansas State has also looked really good in their games this season with their 7-2 record overall and their 4-2 conference record which has them right near the top of the Big 12 too. They have looked great in their home games this year with their 4-0 home record, but they are coming off a loss to Houston in their last one and that has now put them in a position where they can't afford to lose another game this season. Kansas State was one of the favorites to win this conference this season, but they are in a tough battle right now and badly need this win. Arizona State is also in that conversation though and this is a game they need to win too since the loser will likely be eliminated from getting to the Big 12 Championship with all the other teams in the running. Kansas State has had extra time to prepare for this game since they are coming out of their bye week, but Arizona State could also be getting their RB back for this game who is one of the best in the nation. Either way, Arizona State will bring their best effort in this game to keep their Championship hopes alive. The best way to place a bet here is on Arizona State to cover the spread in this game.

“It’s an unbelievable connection right now. Sam knew they were in cover one on the one scramble. He bought some time and then knew there was a one on one in the corner, launched it, gave him a jump ball and great job by Jordyn going to get it.” - Kenny Dillingham after his team’s win against UCF in their last game.
