Kansas State Wildcats (+11) at No. 19Oklahoma Sooners

Noon, ESPN

Oklahoma still has a great shot at winning the Big 12 and finishing the year at 10-2, as it'll be favored in the rest of its games. It has Samaje Perine and Joe Mixon at running back and Baker Mayfield at quarterback. Its offense is averaging 200 rushing and 300 passing yards per game. The Sooners are holding opponents to 81 yards per game below their average. They are worthy of being a big favorite here, but Bill Snyder is on the other sideline and that makes this an automatic play. There is no better coach in the country when he is installed as the 'dog. Already this year, Kansas State outgained Stanford on the road 335-272, led West Virginia almost start to finish before coming up three points short, but beat the Vegas number in each.

Kansas State is holding opponents to 94 yards per game below their season average and takes this one to the wire.

ATS pick: Kansas State (+)
Score: Oklahoma 30, Kansas State 26
