Big 12 football Week 3 picks & predictions: Struggling teams bounce back

We gave our predictions and picks for each Big 12 football game going down in Week 3 of college football.

There have been highs and lows in the Big 12 Conference across the first two weeks of the football season. Texas State defeated a Big 12 team on their home field, while Texas just took down Alabama in Tuscaloosa.

In both slates of games thus far, the conference has come out with a 10-4 record. But even with six of the 14 schools in the Big 12 playing road games, I still predicted a better overall record for this upcoming Saturday.

With Week 3 just days away, Through the Phog predicted the final score and winner of all Big 12 football games on the schedule.

#15 Kansas State Wildcats (2-0) at Missouri Tigers (2-0)

Saturday, 11:00 a.m. CT, SEC Network (ESPN)

The Kansas Jayhawks‘ two bitter rivals face off once more in football. Mizzou hardly slipped by Middle Tennessee State last week with a 23-19 victory, while K-State has pounced on its first two opponents. It was an ugly showing when they competed against each other a year ago, with the Wildcats coming out victorious in blowout fashion. I think they’ll win rather comfortably on Saturday, even if it isn’t the same team as 2022. Mizzou’s offense simply isn’t good enough to match up with the Wildcats.

Final Score Prediction: 38-25, K-State

Big 12 Football Record: 1-0
