Kansas State at Kansas picks and predictions
Prediction
Kansas 79, Kansas State 70
Moneyline
PASS.
Kansas (-610) should be able to pick up the win, especially because I don’t see the Jayhawks being swept by the Wildcats this season, but the Jayhawks are not worth the risk of betting on as such heavy favorites. Bet on the spread and/or total instead.
Against the spread
LEAN KANSAS STATE +10.5 (-110).
Kansas State has covered the spread in 3 of its last 4 games and is 5-2 ATS in its last 7. The Wildcats have also covered the spread in 2 of the last 3 matchups vs. Kansas. K-State has been the better team ATS this season at 15-14, while Kansas is 12-16.
This is only a lean because both teams have been mediocre ATS lately and they’ve each covered 4 times in the last 8 meetings.

LEAN OVER 142.5 (-114).
The Over has hit in 3 consecutive games for Kansas State and is 4-1 in its last 5. For Kansas, the Over is 2-1 in its last 3 games. The Over has also hit in 4 of the last 5 meetings between the Wildcats and Jayhawks.
This is only a lean because Kansas State is 14-14-1 O/U this season and Kansas is 13-14-1. The Over is also 5-4-1 in the past 10 meetings.
