Kansas State vs. South Dakota Odds Breakdown

Kansas State is favored by 25 points in this one but the big number isn't scaring off the public. 87% of the handle and 84% of the bets are on Kansas State to take care of business in their season opener.

The rushing attack is set to be deadly with Adrian Martinez and stud running back Deuce Vaughn. With all due respect to South Dakota, I just have no idea who you can possibly expect an FCS school to contain a rushing attack like this.

Yes, the number is big but as we often see in Week 1 of the college football season, there are a ton of blowouts. This projects to be one of them.

In their last nine games as favorites, the Wildcats are 6-2-1 against the spread. There's a reason why the spread in Kansas State vs. South Dakota is so high and there's a very good reason why the public is still hammering the favorite here.
