*10* ANNIHILATOR Kansas State.

The Baylor Bears are still undefeated, but they lost their starting quarterback for the rest of the season with a neck injury. This hasn't prevented bookmakers from making them an enormous road favorite here at Kansas State, and my money is on the home dog in Manhattan.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Baylor Defense - The Bears have given up a ton of points when you consider how soft their schedule has been so far. They rank 59th nationally allowing opponents to average 25 points per game.

2. Home Cookin' - This will be just the third road game of the season for Baylor, and the previous two came against minnows SMU and Kansas. The Wildcats have won four of their last five home meetings with Baylor outright, and the lone loss came by just 10 points.

3. X-Factor - Kansas State is coming off a much needed week off, and they are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 games following a bye week.

Selection: This is a play on the Kansas State Wildcats (10*)
