The Kansas State Wildcats and their recently fired Head Coach, Ron Prince, will square off against Big 12 North rival, the Missouri Tigers this evening in Columbia, MO. The game is set to begin at 7:00pm ET, but it will not be televised. College football betting odds at BetUS.com have the home Tigers listed as a big -27 favorite.

Earlier this week the Kansas State Athletic Department informed Ron Prince that he would not be the head coach of the football team in 2009. Prince asked to stay on through the team's final three games and his request was granted. The shake-up came after the Wildcats were destoyed 52-21 by the Kansas Jayhawks.

Kansas State has been up and down all season long, and their defense has been dreadful, especially in conference play. The Wildcats have allowed an average of 42.4 points per game to Big 12 competition this year.

The fourteenth ranked Missouri Tigers survived a big scare last week in Waco, Texas. Gary Pinkel's team did not put together their most impressive performance of the season, but they secured a 31-28 win nonetheless.

While last week's showing proved that Missouri should not take any opponent lightly, the Tigers are probably salivating at the chance to see what they can do against the Kansas State defense. The Tiger offense, led by quarterback Chase Daniel, is averaging over 45 points per game and 500 yards per game.

Tonight will be senior night for Missouri, which means it will be Daniel's last game as a Tiger at Faurot Field.

College Football Betting Trend: Kansas State is 2-8 straight up in their last 10 games as a road dog.
