Top Handicapping Sites
The Action Network - "The loss of two explosive wide receivers is a blow to the Iowa State offense."
"Kansas State has not covered in the "Farmageddon" series in five years, but mistakes led to a misleading loss in 2024. Quarterback Avery Johnson opened the game with a crucial fumble, preceding a fumble from a catch made by Keagan Johnson."
"Kansas State ranked 15th nationally in Defensive Line Yards last season, indicating that the Wildcats could dominate the trenches against opposing offensive lines. The biggest question for Kansas State's defense is in the secondary, where the only proven player is All-Big 12 honorable mention safety VJ Payne."
"Kansas State will control the line of scrimmage on offense, while (Rocco) Becht will find multiple ways to attack a subpar Wildcats secondary."
"The Iowa State Cyclones are a proven team that advanced to the Big 12 championship game last season. The Cyclones only dropped three games. The Kansas State Wildcats are considered the team to beat in the BIG 12 this season, but I am a bit cautious. They only went 5-4 in Big 12 play last season. The Cyclones could easily be just as good or better than the Wildcats.
"Furthermore, these rivals met late in 2024 in a game the Cyclones won by eight points. This is worth mentioning because there are many key players back this year. This includes the starting QBs in this game, Becht for Iowa State and Johnson for Kansas State. Johnson only converted on 42% of his passes in the loss against the Cyclones last season. Becht was ranked 11th in the country in passing yards per game last season. This is key as the Wildcats' pass defense was exposed last season, squandering an average of 235 passing yards per game, ranking them 77th. They are inexperienced in the secondary, and I expect Becht to be the difference in this game."
