Army Black Knights
Point Spread Pick
Army +17.0(-110)

The Army Black Knights hit the road for Manhattan, Kansas after a disappointing opening game loss at Michie Stadium on the banks of the Hudson River. Army suffered a 30-27 overtime loss against FCS Tarleton State last weekend as a 14-point favorite, while the Over (47.5) connected. Army had 24 first downs and 411 total yards, while going for 280 yards on the ground. QB Dewayne Coleman threw 2 interceptions in the loss; he was 7-of-12 for 129 yards and ran for 100 yards with a score. RB Hayden Reed also went for 88 yards and a score. Army nearly escaped despite a minus-3 turnover ratio.

Kansas State suffered a 24-21 loss to Iowa State in Dublin before returning home last week with a 38-35 barnburner against FCS North Dakota. UND actually had one more first down than K-State, while the Wildcats had 464 total yards. However, Kansas State allowed 354 yards, and that’s rather alarming against an FCS foe. QB Avery Johnson did his part, though, going for 318 yards and 3 touchdowns, while RB DeVon Rice ran for 40 yards and 2 scores. The Wildcats’ offense looks good to go, but the defense is concerning. Let’s take Army plus the points, as it should be able to keep it within 2 touchdowns.

Army vs Kansas State prediction: Army +17 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable to +16.

Kansas State Wildcats
Army Black Knights
Game Totals Pick
Over 47.0(-110)

Army suffered the 30-27 loss in double-overtime against Tarleton State of the FCS last week, cashing the Over. The offense looked a little more diversified, passing 16 total times — including 12 times from QB Dewayne Coleman. But Army is still a run-first offense. It was able to pile up some impressive yardage totals, and before you dismiss its success, consider Tarleton State was a top-10 team in the FCS rankings. It definitely was a solid opponent despite the FCS level.

Kansas State has 2 games under its belt; the Under cashed in the 24-21 loss to Iowa State in Dublin, while the Over cashed in last week’s wild 38-35 victory over FCS North Dakota. The Wildcats really struggled to stop the Fighting Hawks last Saturday, and there are a ton of concerns about whether or not K-State will be able to shut down the talented rushing attack of Army. Kansas State coughed up 354 total yards of offense, 102 rushing yards and 3.1 yards per rushing attempt. Expect to see Army have plenty of success running the ball. The total is low given the fact both teams went Over last weekend. Let’s back the over and take confidence in doing so.

Army vs Kansas State prediction: Over 47 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable to 47.5.
