Pick: 3 unit(s) ATS: Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles +5.5 (-110) (Normal)
Boy, the line alone makes you wary that something is up. After all, you have an undefeated Big 12 team at home only laying 5 points to a Southern Miss team that is hitting the highway. In fact, over 80% of the public is on Kansas State here and yet the line has refused to budge. But, Southern Miss in my opinion is a team that is really under the radar. Keep in mind that this team beat La Salle earlier this year in overtime, beat a very good Iona team, lost to South Alabama in overtime as well and lost to New Mexico by just 2 points on the road. So, this in many ways is a bounce-back for Southern Miss. Kansas State has lost the last 3 games by a combined total of 9 points and those come against very solid teams in Oregon, Iowa and Kentucky. Call me nuts here, but I think 80% of the public is indeed wrong here and that Southern Miss likely wins this game outright. Besides, I’ve always said, the 5.5 line in sports betting is one of the worst lines as it typically indicates that the underdog is likely to win outright. The Eagles are 6-1 ATS following a S.U. loss and Kansas State is 2-11-1 ATS in their last 14 games overall.
