Our Arizona vs Kansas State Wildcats Prediction
Arizona will win this one, but there is no value in the moneyline (-4000), and large spreads (-18.5) always make me apprehensive (will the loser catch up too much in garbage time?). However, K-State does not have a defense capable of slowing the Wildcats down. Look for Arizona to have a big night (90-100+ points), leaving Kansas State to score just enough for the final score to go OVER the TOTAL.
Our K-State vs. Arizona Pick: OVER 169.5
