Kansas State vs Iowa State College Football Predictions, College Football Odds & College Football Picks: The Kansas State Wildcats and the Iowa State Cyclones open their conference seasons this afternoon as the Big 12 North rivals square off against each other at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. Both squads are coming off easy wins, but have a long way to go before proving that they can contend against the likes of Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska. A win today, however, would be a nice start. Kickoff is set for 3:00pm ET in what has been dubbed Farmageddon. College Football Predictions at Sportsbook.com have the Cyclones listed as a -2.5 favorite.
Kansas State evened its record last Saturday at 2-2, thumping FCS school Tennessee Tech 49-7 in Manhattan, Kansas. 
Head Coach Bill Synder saw his offense, albeit against their weakest opponent thus far, produce 24 first downs and 448 yards in the win. The team controlled the clock with a ground game that racked up 296 yards and a passing game that was an ultra-efficient 10-for-11. Quarterback Carson Coffman completed 8-of-9 passes for 131 yards, but let running backs Keithen Valentine and Daniel Thomas do most of the work. The two combined for 212 yards and three touchdowns in 36 carries.
The Wildcats defense held the Golden Eagles 107 yards and were in the backfield enough that Tennessee Tech tallied -19 rush yards for a -0.8 yards per carry average.
Iowa State exceeded their 2008 season win total of two games last weekend, beating Army 31-10 at Jack Trice Stadium in Ames, Iowa. The victory improved the Cyclones to 3-1, and gave the program its first winning non-conference record since the 2006 season. New Head Coach Paul Rhoads saw his defense continue to progress as it held the Black Knights to 316 yards in 34:37 and stopped them 13 times in 16 third down situations.
The offense churned out 376 yards, 201 of which came via the run, and 18 first downs in just over 25 minutes. Quarterback Austen Arnaud completed 11-of-20 passes for 175 yards and two touchdowns and he ran the ball 18 times for 75 yards and a score. Junior running back Alexander Robinson carried the ball 21 times for 127 yards and a touchdown in the win.
College Football Predictions Betting Trend: This is just the second time in the last 10 meetings between these two schools that Iowa State has been being listed as the favorite. The Cyclones won that meeting 45-17 back in 2005, easily covering the -7.5 spread. However, the Wildcats are 7-3 straight up in their last 10 games against Iowa State.
