Kansas State vs Missouri 2010 College Football Odds, Picks & Predictions

by Matt Foust on Friday, November 12th, 2010

Kansas State vs Missouri 2010 College Football Odds, 2010 College Football Picks & 2010 College Football Predictions: The Missouri Tigers will attempt to end their unexpected two game skid tomorrow afternoon when they host Big 12 North rival Kansas State. The divisional contest is scheduled to get underway at 12:30pm ET at Faurot Field in Columbia. 2010 College Football Odds, Picks & Predictions at Sportsbook.com have the Tigers listed as a -12.5 against the spread home favorite and the Over/Under set at 54.5.

Kansas State's early season success appeared to be in jeopardy a mere two weeks ago after it dropped back-to-back Kansas State vs Missouri 2010 College Football Odds, Picks & Predictionsgames to Baylor and Oklahoma State. The Wildcats got back on track last Saturday, though, and improved to 6-3 (3-3 Big 12) after pounding Texas 39-14 in Manhattan.

Kansas State managed just 13 first downs and 270 total yards in the victory, but its defense picked off the Longhorns Garrett Gilbert, who threw 59 passes, five times. Conversely, the Wildcats threw just four passes on the night with sophomore Collin Klein getting the start over Carson Coffman. 

Klein, along with running back Daniel Thomas, punished the Texas defense as the two combined for 43 carries, 233 yards, and four touchdowns.

Head Coach Bill Synder has not revealed who will start at quarterback against the Tigers, but it is a safe bet that he will employ the same run heavy approach that the team relied on against the Longhorns. 

Missouri's defense, which ranks eighth nationally in points per game allowed (16.3), has been a strength this season; however, both Nebraska and Texas Tech, the Tigers two most recent opponents, had great success rushing the ball. The Cornhuskers posted a jaw dropping 328 rush yards in their 31-17 victory over Mizzou while the Red Raiders produced 198 yards on the ground in last weekend's 24-17 upset of the Tigers.

More disconcerting than the run defense, though, are the recent struggles of quarterback Blaine Gabbert. Gabbert completed just 30 of his 72 passes for 294 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in Mizzou's last two games. Not coincidentally, the Tigers lost both contests after scoring a total of 34 points.

Missouri, however, is undefeated at home this season and Gabbert played extremely well in his last outing at Faurot Field, completing 30-of-42 passes for 308 yards and a touchdown in leading the Tigers to a 36-27 win over Oklahoma.

College Football Predictions Betting Trend: Missouri is 8-2 straight up but just 3-7 against the spread in its last 10 games as a home favorite against a Big 12 opponent with a total of 54.5 or more.
