Both teams enter this Bowl game 9-3 Straight Up but Kansas State has demonstrated they can cover the spread and pay out for gamblers with 8 of their games covering compared to just 4 for UCLA.
The Kansas State Wildcats are playing their third bowl game in 2 calendar years, and snapped a 5 bowl game skid last year with a win over Michigan in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl. They last made an Alamo Bowl appearance in 1998, in a loss to Purdue 37-34. They are led by second-year starter and senior QB Jake Waters. Waters improved his stats from the year before in every major category, and passed for nearly 3,200 yards, while being responsible for 28 TDs through the air and on the ground.
UCLA is 5 - 10 in their last 15 bowl games, and have lost 4 of their last 6. Junior QB Brett Hundley threw for over 3,000 yards in his third consecutive season under center for the Bruins, while completing over 70% of his passes, accounting for 29 overall TDs. Sophomore RB Paul Perkins ran for nearly 1,400 yards, and added 200 more, catching balls out of the backfield, and added 7 TDs of his own.
The Wildcats are 16-5 Against The Spread in their last 21 games following a Straight Up loss and 19-6-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. They are just 1-5 ATS in their last 6 bowl games.
The Bruins are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games following a double-digit loss at home and 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games after accumulating less than 170 yards passing in their previous game.
