Baylor -2.5 (-110) ★★★★

Rushing for 281 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns, Baylor managed a three-point win over the Sooners thanks to running back Craig Williams tallying 192 of those yards and two touchdowns.
Kansas State, however, has played ranked opponents more often than not recently. Despite losing two of their last three matchups against ranked Big 12 opponents in TCU and Texas, the Wildcats lost by 10 or fewer points in both of those games.

Kansas State vs. Baylor Prop Pick
Baylor to win by 1-13 (+175) ★★★
While Baylor is favored to win and control its fate in the Big 12, Kansas State won’t make it easy as it must win out for a chance at the title game. The Wildcats also have a dual-threat star in running back Deuce Vaughn, who has five rushing touchdowns and two receiving touchdowns this year.
Baylor also won only one of its last six games against Big 12 opponents by more than 13 points. Kansas State has been within 13 points of its opponent, win or loss, in six of its last seven games.
