Agatha's pick for Houston vs Kansas State

Kansas State. Agatha gave Kansas State a 62% chance to win at Bill Snyder Family Stadium, Manhattan. It was one of Agatha's Best NCAAF Bets for Oct 10.

Why Agatha picked Kansas State

Kansas State's defense decides this one: it allows 15.3 points a game, and Houston allows 19.8. The game is at Bill Snyder Family Stadium, where Kansas State went 3-0 at home this season while Houston went 1-1 on the road. Kansas State beat Tulane 31-20 at home on Sep 19, and it last played on Sep 26 and has had 13 days off since. Agatha's prediction is a 30-23 Kansas State win, close to a 6-in-10 chance. The risk is Houston, which won the latest meeting 24-19 at home on Nov 2, 2024, and has won two games in a row.
