Kansas at Kansas State odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Kansas at Kansas State odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 2 Kansas Jayhawks (16-1, 5-0 Big-12) meet the No. 15 Kansas State Wildcats (15-2, 4-1) in a Sunflower State showdown Tuesday. Tip from Bramlage Coliseum in Manhattan is at 7 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Kansas vs. Kansas State odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Rankings courtesy of the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.

Kansas has not been overly dominant on the season despite being ranked No. 2, as evidenced by its 7-10 record against the spread this season. The Jayhawks failed to cover as 7.5-point favorites in a 62-60 victory over Iowa State Saturday. F Jalen Wilson had 16 points and 11 rebounds in the win. A victory over 2nd place Kansas State would help Kansas in its quest to capture a 17th Big 12 regular season title under coach Bill Self.

The Wildcats, who were picked to finish last in the Big 12 by CBS Sports entering the season, are currently the surprise team of the conference. With 78.2 points per game, Kansas State will look to outscore the Jayhawks who average 76.9 points.

Neither of these teams is in the top 50 in rebounds per game, so there should be plenty of transition baskets to be had off missed shots. The team who can turn these into 3-pointers will win.

Kansas at Kansas State picks and predictions

Prediction

Kansas State 68, Kansas 65

Moneyline

KANSAS STATE (+105) is the side to play here.

Kansas has been playing with its food of late and it will finally bite them back Tuesday. The Jayhawks under Bill Self are almost unbeatable at home, but this is a road tilt and the Wildcats will prevail in the Little Apple.

Against the spread

PASS on the spread in favor of the moneyline.

Kansas State, despite losing 82-68 at TCU Saturday, will be ready for this home game against rival Kansas. The value is better on the home side’s moneyline instead of paying the price for a single point of insurance.

Over/Under

Take the UNDER 147.5 (-115).

Both teams can score plenty but have failed to do so in recent games.

Kansas State scored 68 points in its last game on Saturday while Kansas only managed to score 62 last time out. This will be a physical game and there will not be many big runs on either side of the floor.

Kansas at Kansas State odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Kansas at Kansas State odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Kansas Jayhawks (6-5, 3-5 Big 12) visit the No. 13 Kansas State Wildcats (8-3, 6-2) Saturday. Kickoff from Bill Snyder Family Stadium is set for 8 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Kansas vs. Kansas State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Rankings courtesy of AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY sports.

The Jayhawks have been one of the surprise teams in the country this season, starting the year 5-0. However, Kansas has lost 5 of its last 6 and has failed to cover the spread in 3 of those losses and pushing another to fall to 7-3-1 against the spread (ATS). Even the return of QB Jalon Daniels last Saturday wasn’t enough to beat Texas as the Jayhawks fell 55-14, but he did have 230 passing yards and 2 touchdowns.

Kansas State is also 7-3-1 ATS this season. The Wildcats are 4-2 straight up at home, having lost to Tulane (Sept. 17) and Texas (Nov. 5). They’ve covered the spread in 2 of their last 3 outings, most recently beating West Virginia 48-31 as 7.5-point favorites last Saturday.

Kansas at Kansas State picks and predictions

Prediction

Kansas State 45, Kansas 28

Moneyline

PASS.

Kansas State (-425) has won 2 in a row, both by 17 or more points. I wouldn’t bet against it here, but betting for the Wildcats to win doesn’t hold much value.

Against the spread

BET WILDCATS -11.5 (-108).

The Wildcats have been on fire as of late, covering 3 of their last 4 games. They won each of those covers by 17 or more, including a 48-0 take of down Oklahoma State on Oct. 29.

The Jayhawks are struggling and have covered just 1 of their last 4. Daniels didn’t look quite right in his return from injury and struggled to produce against Texas. Kansas State’s defense ranks 14th in points allowed (18.7), so a struggling Jayhawks offense may not be able to get much going.

Back the WILDCATS -11.5 (-108)

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 62.5 (-108).

Kansas State is averaging 32.2 points per game and ranks 17th in the nation in rushing yards per game (208.4). The Wildcats are just 5-6 O/U, but that is mainly because of their defense.

The Jayhawks are 7-4 O/U. Daniels missed a few games, so getting his rhythm back could take time. He should look better this week.

Kansas ranks 114th in rushing yards allowed, giving up 190.5 per game. The Wildcats are going to abuse that weakness and should score at will which should then make the Daniels-led Jayhawks push the pace.

I would back the OVER 62.5 (-108) given that strength-on-weakness aspect.

Kansas at Kansas State: Three things to know

Kansas rolls into this one on a three-game win streak and cover run since a 91-79 loss at West Virginia Feb. 6. Four days earlier, Kansas routed K-State 74-51 and covered as a 15-point favorite with the Under 133.5 cashing.
Kansas State has lost 12 straight games, going 5-7 ATS during the skid. However, the Wildcats have covered each of their past three, all as double-digit underdogs.
The favorite is 35-14-2 ATS in the past 51 meetings between these Sunflower State rivals with the home team going 19-6-2 ATS across the past 27 in the series.

Kansas at Kansas State: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Kansas 81, Kansas State 65

Money line (ML)

Kansas (-1100) will cost you 11 times your potential return, which is just not tenable. Over the long haul, if you played that bet 100 times, you could win at a 91 percent clip and still be in the negative. AVOID.

Against the spread (ATS)

KANSAS -12.5 (-120) is the play against its struggling rivals. Even though K-State cashed in each of the past three as a double-digit dog, it showed it had nothing for the Jayhawks in Lawrence just two weeks ago. The Jayhawks aren’t the same team they have been in recent seasons, but they’re still heads and tails better than the five-win Wildcats.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 135.5 (-110) is the lean in this rivalry battle. The Over is 6-1 in the past seven on the road for Kansas, while going 10-4 in the past 14 games overall. The Over has connected in four of the past five for K-State, too. Yes, the Under hit in the first meeting, but the Over is 3-0 in Kansas State’s three at home, as it’s allowing 74.0 PPG during the span.
