We’ve got our dancing shoes on once again here at Cappers Info, and that means that it’s time for the NCAA Tournament picks to continue. Our next set of March Madness Bracket Predictions take us to the West Region, where the #13 La Salle Explorers and the #4 Kansas State Wildcats meet in the Second Round.

Second Round Betting Lines
#13 La Salle Explorers +6
#4 Kansas State Wildcats -6
Over/Under 132.5

There is a lot of sentiment that perhaps La Salle is going to pull off the upset in this game, but we aren’t so sure that that’s truly the case. The Explorers took down a very good Boise State Broncos team in the First Four in Dayton, but they have really been all over the place offensively of late. Granted, we know that playing offense is a heck of a lot harder when you’re playing against the likes of Butler and St. Louis, but this is a bit much. Are we going to see the La Salle team that put up 54 and 58 against the Billikens and Bulldogs, or are we going to see the team that put up 80+ in its other three games in its last five? Without C Steve Zack in the lineup, we think that the best advantage that the Explorers could have had in this game. Kansas State has a pair of great guards in G Rodney McGruder and G Angel Rodriguez, and the big problem that it had all season long, especially against C Jeff Withey, was getting killed in the paint. F Jerrell Wright could be a difference maker for the Explorers, but at 6’8″, he just doesn’t have the height to take advantage of the smaller Wildcats. Kansas State should be able to get the job done on Friday.

The time is here for more of our sparkling CBB picks, as we look at the schedule for basketball for Saturday night. The Kansas Jayhawks and Kansas State Wildcats will have it the Big XII Tournament Finals, which can be seen on the college basketball TV schedule on ESPN.

Big XII Tournament Finals Picks: Kansas State Wildcats vs. Kansas Jayhawks
Date: Saturday, March 16th, 6:00 ET
Location: Sprint Center, Kansas City, MO
Kansas State vs. Kansas Live TV: ESPN

Kansas State and Kansas are arch rivals that hate each other. Both are going to be high seeds in the NCAA Tournament, and both have to think that they have a great shot of claiming the Big XII title on Saturday. The only problem for the men in purple is that they are severely outclassed in this series, and it is just a bad matchup all around. The Cats are going to be a dangerous team in the NCAA Tournament because they can stroke the three ball and have a lot of guards that can handle the basketball. That’s all fine a dandy, but the problem is that there is no one to rebound. That will work against some teams, but against C Jeff Withey and the Jayhawks, it just isn’t going to work. G Angel Rodriguez is going to have to have an incredibly efficient game, and for a man that is barely shooting 37% from the field for the year, that’s a difficult task. All of the guards for the Jayhawks are good enough to stick around with Rodriguez and G Rodney McGruder anyway, but the addition of Withey and the rest of the lanky men on the inside is just too much for KSU to overcome. The Wildcats just don’t have the goods here to hang with Kansas, and for the third time this year, the Jayhawks will rule the day.

Kansas State vs. Kansas Pick: Kansas Jayhawks
Big XII Finals Prediction: Kansas 70 – Kansas State 61

Oklahoma State is a team that has really come out of nowhere over the course of the last few weeks to get potentially as high as the Top 4 lines in the NCAA Tournament. The Pokes had the Baylor Bears dead to rights before letting them get back into the game at the gun on Thursday, but that was to be expected with Baylor fighting for its right to get into the dance. Kansas State meanwhile, had no troubles getting past the Texas Longhorns and into this semifinal. The Wildcats have only been beaten once since February 11th, but that came at the hands of this Okie State outfit. In that game, the Cowboys survived in spite of the fact that G Rodney McGruder scored 22 for the Cats. Oklahoma State was the aggressive team and got to the charity stripe a whopping 30 times on the game. If that’s how the Cowboys are going to play this one, they’re going to end up pulling out yet another crucial victory to move one step closer to the Big XII title.

Kansas State vs. Oklahoma State Pick: Oklahoma State Cowboys
Big XII Semifinals Prediction: Oklahoma State 76 – Kansas State 74

Baylor halted a three-game losing streak on Wednesday night by knocking off the West Virginia Mountaineers on the road. It was a nice win, but it’s not the type of win that is going to get the Bears into the NCAA Tournament. Baylor has a pair of home games left in Waco, clashes against the Wildcats and the Kansas Jayhawks, and at least one of those games has to be won if it is going to dance this year. The problem with this one is that KSU is clearly the better of the two teams. We really don’t think that the Bears are all that good any longer. They really don’t have any great wins under their belt, and they are playing against a team that whooped up on them by 20 points when these two teams met just two weeks ago. Not enough has changed in that stretch to make us think that this result is going to be all that much different. K-State doesn’t really need this win, but it would be a real nice one to have, knowing that the regular season Big XII title is still up for grabs. Go with the Wildcats.

Kansas State vs. Baylor Pick: Kansas State Wildcats +2.5

CappersInfo is back with its West Virginia Mountaineers vs. Kansas State Wildcats picks and predictions, as we look to give you all of the college basketball advice and tips that you need to beat your online sportsbook for this crucial Monday night tilt.

Normally speaking, few are really on the bandwagon for the Mountaineers. They only just barely beat the Texas Tech Red Raiders over the weekend, and they have to be one of the least likeable teams in the Big XII. There isn’t a single player on this team that is averaging more than 9.2 points per game, and that begs the question as to whether there are truly any worthwhile players on the roster to grow around. However, we really think that this is a nice spot to take what should be a pretty lofty point spread on Monday night in the Little Apple. Kansas State is coming off of a nice win over the Baylor Bears, and a date with the Texas Longhorns in Austin is on tap. This really is more of a bet on WVU than a bet against Kansas State, though. The Mountaineers have won four out of five games to at least keep some NIT hopes alive, and we have to remember that this is a team that has challenged teams like the Kansas Jayhawks, Iowa State Cyclones, and these very same Wildcats in the past. Are the ‘Neers going to win this game? Absolutely not. But can they cover the number? You bet.

West Virginia vs. Kansas State Pick: West Virginia Mountaineers +10.5
West Virginia vs. Kansas State Prediction: Kansas State 68 – West Virginia 62

We were on the Jayhawks to fix their woes in Norman on Saturday, but that just didn’t happen. Instead, it was another uninspired effort from a team that looked like it was outclassed for a good chunk of the game. Now, the oddsmakers have taken the plunge and made this team just a nine-point favorite at home against a Kansas State team that it beat by four on the road in Manhattan just a few weeks ago. The Cats have been hot since that point, winning four in a row, but we’re not all that sure that they are truly worthwhile at this point of being backed, even at +9. As we saw a few weeks back, the Wildcats only managed 11 baskets for the whole game from inside the arc. C Jeff Withey didn’t have a single block over the course of the game, but he still altered his share. He’ll surely be a factor once again in this one. We’re hoping that this is the day that the KU offense gets back to its efficient self. Shooting 45 or 46 percent from the field would get the job done in this one in all likelihood, and we think that’s exactly what’s going to happen when push comes to shove on Monday night.

Kansas State vs. Kansas Pick: Kansas Jayhawks -9
Kansas State vs. Kansas Prediction: Kansas 71 – Kansas State 58

The Wildcats should have no problems romping to another win on Wednesday night, knowing that this game against Texas is a de facto bye game in the hot and heavy Big XII. It’s a nice spot to back the Cats for sure, knowing that they are going to be given a lot of disrespect by the oddsmakers after losing to Kansas and Iowa State last week. However, the team was a dog in both of those games, and the losses were both competitive games, so we aren’t punishing the Cats by any stretch of the imagination. Texas just flat out stinks offensively. Sure, the team is holding clubs down to just 35.3 percent shooting from the field, but if G Sheldon McClellan gets taken away from this offense, there is no way that the team is going to score 65 points. Texas has covered three in a row, and we expect that the college basketball odds are going to be reflective of that, but that doesn’t mean that it is justified. Head Coach Mack Brown and the gang are under .500 for a reason, and though the team is getting better, the loss of F Jonathan Holmes will really be felt in this one. The men in purple should romp by double digits at home.

I’ve been studying the ‘total’ for the Fiesta Bowl odds for quite some time, and I’m ready to make my Fiesta Bowl picks for the clash between the Kansas State Wildcats and the Oregon Ducks. The Oregon vs. Kansas State kickoff is set for 8:30 p.m. ET at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, AZ, and I’m going to show you which way to bet on college football to make your CFB pick on for this great game.

2013 Fiesta Bowl
Oregon Ducks (11-1, 7-5 ATS) -8
Kansas State Wildcats (11-1, 9-2-1 ATS) +8
Over/Under 73.5

The ‘total’ in the Fiesta Bowl has come down just a bit over the course of the last few weeks, and I wish that I had gotten in on this one prior to the drop. Every single year, I see the Ducks have these ‘totals’ in the 60s and the 70s, and almost every year, I seem to be disappointed. Last year in the Rose Bowl, there were 83 points, but the year before in the BCS Championship Game was 41 points, and the Rose Bowl in 2009 featured just 43 points. The difference this year is that there is a team on the other side of the field that is known for its offense with a Heisman Trophy finalist at quarterback and not teams like Auburn and Ohio State that were just as known for their defense as anything else.

Of course, I think the real key to this game is going to be the Kansas State defense. This unit really isn’t all that bad. The Cats allowed just 119.2 rushing yards and 21.1 points per game this year, and if you don’t believe just how good this team can be defensively, ask the Oklahoma Sooners (19 points), West Virginia Mountaineers (14 points), Texas Tech Red Raiders (24), TCU Horned Frogs (10), and Texas Longhorns (24). That doesn’t mean that the Ducks are going to be stuck in the 20s, but the truth of the matter is that even in the low 30s, this is still likely to be an ‘under’ game.

I’ll also admit that I’m a bit wary over the idea that the Ducks scored at least 42 points in all but one game that they played this year. However, with a month and a half off since their last game played and all of the distraction with Head Coach Chip Kelly and the NFL teams that are interviewing him, but I really don’t think that that is helping put points on the board. I think that the defense is going to come up with a decent effort from the Ducks, knowing that this unit has been underrated for most of the year. I just don’t think that this one is going to get to such a big time number.

Oregon vs. Kansas State Picks & Tips: Under 73.5

The Oregon Ducks and the Kansas State Wildcats are going to square off on the Fiesta Bowl odds and betting lines. Join us here at Cappers Info, as we make our Fiesta Bowl picks & predictions for football for what should be a great game on Thursday.

Fiesta Bowl Picks: Oregon Ducks vs. Kansas State Wildcats
Date: Thursday, January 3rd, 8:30 ET
Location: University of Phoenix Stadium, Glendale, AZ
Fiesta Bowl Betting Odds: Oregon -8
Oregon vs. Kansas State Live TV: ESPN

The Ducks and Wildcats were both in the driver’s seat just a few weeks ago to play in the BCS National Championship Game. Both of them choked though, losing to the Stanford Cardinal and Baylor Bears respectively within a matter of minutes, and now, both are relegated to the Fiesta Bowl. With rumors of Head Coach Bill Snyder retiring at the end of the game and Head Coach Chip Kelly going to the NFL within the next few days or weeks, there is the real question of motivation on both of these sides. That could make this a very suspect game to try to handicap for sure. Generally speaking, the rule of thumb is that you take the points in this situation, and that’s precisely what we’re going to do.

Bovada Sportsbook

There’s also the matter of the quarterback situation for both of these teams. QB Marcus Mariota was fantastic this year, but he is still a freshman, and one that played really poorly at the end of the year against the best teams in the land. When you really look back at what Oregon played this year, it only faced one Top 10 foe (Stanford), and the rest of the teams in the Pac-12 more or less tapered out at the end of the campaign. Mariota has some great stats, and he might evolve into a quarterback that can lead a team to the National Championship one day, and he very well could ultimately win this game. However, we really think that we would rather have QB Collin Klein, a Heisman Trophy finalist on our side in this one. The senior did everything for his team this year, and even in that loss to Baylor, it was really the defense that cost the team in its one loss this year. Klein went into Norman and pulled off the upset, and he has taken down a number of big time foes in his career. He definitely won’t be afraid in this one.

That’s why we think that Kansas State is the right side in this game. We tend to think that the Cats are winning outright, but if they don’t, we still have a healthy touchdown and more on our side. If Kansas State can figure out how to slow down this rushing attack with RB Kenjon Barner and WR De’Anthony Thomas just a bit, the Cats are going to be in fantastic shape. Remember that Kansas State ranked 17th in the country in rush defense at 119.2 rushing yards per game. That’s more than good enough for us.

Oregon vs. Kansas State Pick: Kansas State Wildcats +8
Fiesta Bowl Score Prediction: Kansas State 31 – Oregon 21

The time is here for more of our sparkling CBB picks, as we look at the schedule for basketball for Saturday night. The Gonzaga Bulldogs and Kansas State Wildcats will have it in a nationally televised game, which can be seen on the college basketball TV schedule on ESPN2.

Kansas State vs. Gonzaga Live TV: ESPN2

This is a neutral site game in name only, as the Bulldogs are clearly going to have the bigger following playing here in Seattle than Kansas State will in spite of the fact that it is a solid three or four hours of driving to get from Spokane to Seattle. This is the return trip for the Wildcats to the Apple State after Gonzaga played at the Sprint Center two years ago. K-State only has one blemish this year against a Michigan Wolverines teams that is clearly one of the best in the country. Of course, the rest of the schedule has been chock full of nothing. Gonzaga probably would have been favored by two touchdowns in this game if not for the fact that over the course of the last week and a half, it needed a buzzer-beater to take down the Washington State Cougars and were trumped by the Illinois Fighting Illini at home. We do think that there is bigger and better on the horizon for the Zags though, and all of that might come to a head this weekend. It’s high time for Head Coach Mark Few and the gang to put together a very convincing victory, and that’s exactly what will happen on Saturday night.

Kansas State vs. Gonzaga Pick: Gonzaga Bulldogs
Kansas State vs. Gonzaga Prediction: Gonzaga 81 – Kansas State 65

Though technically a neutral site game, this is going to be essentially a road game for the orange and blue. The Gators had the Arizona Wildcats dead to rights last weekend before letting them off of the hook in the desert. Head Coach Billy Donovan knows that his team is going to want to get back on track in a hurry to reassert itself as perhaps the top contender in the SEC. Kansas State only has two losses this year as well though, and the two drops to the Gonzaga Bulldogs and Michigan Wolverines are nothing to be ashamed of. We’d really like to see KSU beat somebody, though we think this might be the spot for that to happen. G Rodney McGruder could be in for one of these big time days where he goes off for 20+ points, and if he does that, the Wildcats are going to have a chance of pulling off the upset. Look for him to lead the way, as Florida learns another tough lesson about going on the road in big time collegiate basketball.

College football betting fans are running to their online sportsbooks to place their Texas Longhorns vs. Kansas State bets and predictions, and here at Cappers Info, we are making our Saturday football picks for this encounter.

Week 13 College Football Picks: Texas Longhorns @ Kansas State Wildcats
Date: Saturday, December 1st, 8:00 ET
Location: Bill Snyder Family Stadium, Manhattan, KS
CFB Betting Odds: Kansas State -10.5
Texas vs. Kansas State Live TV: ABC

We’re expecting to see a heck of a party atmosphere on Saturday night in the Little Apple, knowing that Kansas State is on the verge of a BCS bowl bid and a trip to the Fiesta Bowl. However, we really aren’t all that sure that the team is going to be able to beat such a big number against a Texas team that has a lot to prove and a lot to play for. The Longhorns were able to shut down QB Collin Klein last year, holding he and his teammates to just 121 total yards of offense. The truth of the matter is that this Texas defense hasn’t played as well this year as it did a campaign ago, and Klein and his mates are a lot more refined now than they were before. However, QB Case McCoy might be the shot in the arm that this team needs to be able to keep the ball moving. We think that the Wildcats are going to win this game, and there isn’t going to be all that much doubt about it in the end, but to cover such a huge number, especially in a series in which the Longhorns are really looking for some revenge after three straight losses, just doesn’t seem likely.

Texas @ Kansas State Pick: Texas Longhorns +10.5
Texas @ Kansas State Score Prediction: Kansas State 31 – Texas 24
