Bill Speros writes: "K-State runs the ball well (303.5 rushing yards per game) and the Bearcats run defense sprouts too many leaks. Cincinnati trailed Miami (Ohio) 28-7 before rallying to win 35-31. But K-State doesn't play in the MAC. Nippert Stadium remains a compact, loud, genuinely tough road environment, and this is Cincinnati's Big 12 opener. Look for lots of offense on both sides."

Wyatt D. Wheeler writes: "Collin Klein hits the road for the first time as Wildcats coach, and we're giving him our early-week prediction here, because he has the better quarterback. Avery Johnson is coming off a career game on the ground, and we have a feeling that'll happen a few more times this season. As Miami (Ohio) showed last week, this Cincy defense is prone to allowing explosive plays."
