Missouri football: Betting odds and over/under for Kansas State game

Missouri beat Louisiana Tech 52-24 last week. The game also hit the over for both the complete game (61.5) and the first half (30. 5). Missouri plays Kansas State this week at 7 p.m.

Kansas State is favored by eight points against Missouri. The game is a toss-up. Missouri's defense will be tested. Kansas State's running game will play a key role in whether it can cover the spread. If the offensive line can improve, it could be a big plus for Missouri, who won last week. If Luther Burden has a good game and the defense takes another step forward, Missouri has the potential to cover or win outright.

The Kansas State game has an over/under of 57. The key for Missouri's defense is to improve after giving up three long touchdowns through the air against Louisiana Tech last week. Quarterback Brady Cook will be asked for more against the Wildcats.
