Rankings courtesy of the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.

Texas is having an impressive season and remains among the favorites to win the Big 12 conference despite dealing with the situation surrounding the arrest and suspension of its coach. The Longhorns are coming off a 70-69 win at Oklahoma Saturday.

The plucky Wildcats are coming of an 82-76 overtime win over West Virginia Saturday and will be looking to snag the top spot in the conference Tuesday. Although Texas is more talented, we will have to wait and see what happens in conference play as the Longhorns will continue to be without their coach for the near future

Kansas State at Texas picks and predictions

Prediction

Texas 75, Kansas State 62

Moneyline

PASS.

Texas (-425) is okay to add to a parlay but not as a standalone wager. The Longhorns are good at home and they haven’t shown weakness since suspending their coach. Texas will not dominate Kansas State, but it will not be close either.

Against the spread

BET TEXAS -8.5 (-115).

Texas is great at home, including an emphatic 93-74 win over Gonzaga earlier this season. Kansas State is not up to the level of Gonzaga and a similar result could be in store for the Wildcats. TEXAS -8.5 (-115) is my favorite play in this game.

Over/Under

BET OVER 135.5 (-105).

This game opened at 137.5 (-115) but has come down. There is a lot of money coming in on the Under, but Texas is a strong offense and Kansas State will do all it can to keep up.

Texas has the talent to run the Wildcats out of the gym, but I don’t see it happening. Kansas State will be close enough to attempt to foul its way back into contention in this game, and while it won’t catch up it’ll add points to the scoreboard.

Kansas State at Texas odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Friday’s Kansas State Wildcats at Texas Longhorns odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

Kansas State Wildcats (7-4, 4-4 Big 12) will take on the Texas Longhorns (4-7, 2-6) Friday in Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for noon ET. Below, we look at the Kansas State at Texas odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

The Texas Longhorns dropped an embarrassing game against Kansas two weeks ago. They lost at West Virginia last week for a sixth consecutive defeat.

This team is not “that” bad. After starting 4-1, the Longhorns are now 4-7. Their strength is in their rushing and their weakness is in their rushing defense, respectively averaging 198.1 yards on the ground and allowing 199.2 yards per game to their opponent.

The Longhorns are 4-7 against the spread (ATS), while the Wildcats are 6-4-1 ATS. Both teams are 5-6 on the Over/Under. Kansas State’s strength is in its rushing as well. Defensively, it actually defends the rush well.

Kansas State at Texas odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Texas 31, Kansas State 24

Money line

PASS.

I like Texas to snap its six-game losing streak, especially at home, but I don’t like a -150 value on an outright victory though. Look toward the spread for value.

Against the spread

BET TEXAS 2.5 (-122) as it has been a far better team at home.

It is 3-2 at home this season, and it plays at an electric stadium with a die-hard fanbase. It’s going to be difficult for Kansas State to leave with a win.

The Wildcats lost by double figures to Oklahoma State, Iowa State and Baylor.

Texas is averaging almost 36.5 points per game. If it can hold the K-State rush game down and outrun the Wildcats as it did with West Virginia, it will have a chance to succeed.

I’d bet Texas will do just that and cover the spread as well.

Over/Under

“LEAN” to the OVER 52.5 (-110) as Texas’ dynamic offense should force Kansas State to keep pace.

The Longhorns have scored over 30 points in almost half of their games. Ranking 30th in in rushing yards per game, they should be able to move the ball easily.

As for Kansas State, it is also no easy challenge for a defense. It ranks 73rd in rushing yards per game and has topped 30 in three of its last four games.

Given the rushing prowess, I expect an offensive outbreak in this one.
