Kansas at Kansas State: Odds, prediction, betting lines and picks
Prediction
Kansas State 31, Kansas 13
Money line (ML)
Kansas State is an overwhelming favorite in this game at -1000. Kansas is just not good, while K-State, although dealing with the loss of their starting quarterback, simply has too much talent. With the price as it is, it just isn’t worth the action. AVOID.
Against the spread (ATS)
The 20-point spread is too rich. Rivalry games, even between two teams with a huge difference of talent, tend to be weird. Kansas State will control the ball, which will limit the number of possessions and points. It will never be in doubt, but it will not be a cover for the favorites. Take KANSAS +20 (-110).
Over/Under (O/U)
K-State is 2-2 O/U this season. Kansas is 3-0-1. Kansas State will slow the game down and Kansas just won’t score enough. Take the UNDER 48.5 (-115).
