In a true pick-em affair Saturday, Big 12 rivals Baylor and Kansas State face off from Bill Snyder Family Stadium. The Bears enter unblemished while K-State tries to rebound from its first 2019 setback.
Baylor edged visiting KSU 37-34 in 2018. With both teams returning many players from that meeting, it’s KSU’s turn to hold home-field. Will that translate into success?

Expect hard-hitting action from programs seeking respect in the wide-open Big 12. Baylor will bring its aerial attack while Kansas State counters with a solid ground game.
Baylor Bears
Undefeated after rolling through a soft first three outings, Baylor passed its inaugural 2019 conference test 23-21 last week vs. Iowa State. Though, at one point during that dogfight, the Bears held, and lost, a 20-point lead. Greater poise will be needed for success on the road this afternoon.
Through the storm, junior quarterback Charlie Brewer kept his touchdown/interception ratio perfect against ISU. Brewer threw three scoring strikes, bringing his total this year to ten td’s and 972 yards.
Star receivers Tyquan Thornton (11 receptions, 141 yards, one touchdown) and Denzel Mems (six receptions, 106 yards, two touchdowns) tallied the lion’s share of Baylor’s 307 aerial yards opposite the Cyclones.
And for added offensive measure, running back John Lovett added 52 yards on 12 rushes.

Meanwhile, the Bears’ defense garnered three sacks, seven hurries and five tackles for loss while frustrating Brock Purdy. Further, Baylor held ISU’s ground attack to 63 yards.
Kansas State Wildcats
If Kansas State can’t find rushing holes today, a repeat of last week’s 26-13 loss vs. Oklahoma State may be in order. Wildcats quarterback Skylar Thompson again struggled last week, completing 11-of-23 passes for 118 yards and no scores.
Leading KSU rusher James Gilbert added just 44 yards on 12 carries, punctuating the Wildcats’ offensive struggles opposite an underdog opponent.
Trying to override last season’s disappointing 5-7 record, Kansas State showed flaws, but learned more valuable lessons about its personnel in defeat last week. Now, from home, KSU needs rejuvenated energy reminiscent of week three’s win over Mississippi State.

Free Week 6 NCAA Football Pick
While Kansas State must feel a mixture of motivation and doubt following their recent loss, Baylor enters today’s showdown on a stout momentum wave.
Look for Bears quarterback Charlie Brewer, flanked by an excellent receiving corps, and hard-nosed defense, to keep that surge going.
4* Free NCAA Betting Pick:
Pitted in a road grinder, Baylor’s athleticism and versatility will eventually win out as the Bears remain undefeated. Conversely, lacking much more than straight ahead rushing, the Wildcats’ defense will remain competitive. Though, competitive won’t be enough vs. sneaky-good Baylor.
Expect an under lean today as both defenses are fundamentally sound, and neither offense has much beyond one strong dimension.
