Baylor already owns a big win over Kansas State over the road and I expect the Bears to have a strong showing today. Baylor covered following its first loss of the season and it is 7-3-1 against the spread in its last 11 after a loss. Kansas State is also struggling and will have trouble scoring on this Baylor defense in Waco.
