College Football Free Pick: Take the Wildcats. Talk about zero respect – Kansas State has been dogged all season by oddsmakers despite its impressive 7-0 run. The difference for me in this game is that K-State should be pumped to play no matter what. Will Oklahoma be pissed or deflated following its loss to Tech last Saturday? The home dog is already a value, especially one that’s 7-0 and has covered the spread week after week According to latest college football trends, the Wildcats are 4-0 against the spread in their last four conference games and 6-0 ATS in their last six games overall. They’re also 4-1 ATS in their last five home games and 4-1 ATS in their last five games as an underdog of 10.5 or greater. The Sooners, meanwhile, are 1-4 ATS in their last five conference games, which includes back-to-back failed covers against Kansas and Texas Tech.
