Kansas State at St. John’s picks and predictions

Prediction

St. John’s 75, Kansas State 69

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on St. John’s (-610) to win Saturday in front of its home crowd.

Against the spread

BET KANSAS STATE +10.5 (-110).

Kansas State has covered the spread in 3 of its last 4 games while fine-tuning its offense against lesser teams in its previous 2. It will face a battle against a solid St. John’s program, but the Wildcats can look to a multitude of players to keep them in this matchup.

St. John’s has failed to cover back-to-back games.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 148.5 (-110).

The Wildcats have allowed 71 or fewer points in 4 of their last 5 games and hit the Under in 4 of their last 7. They have scored 80 or fewer points in 5 of their last 7.

The Red Storm have hit the Under in back-to-back games and 4 of their last 6. They have scored 77 or fewer points in back-to-back games and allowed 73 or fewer in 7 of 8 this season.

Kansas State at Iowa State odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The final week of the regular season in the Big 12 has the Kansas State Wildcats (8-3, 5-3 Big 12) on the road facing the No. 17 Iowa State Cyclones (9-2, 6-2). Kickoff Saturday from Jack Trice Stadium is at 7:30 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds around the Kansas State vs. Iowa State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Kansas State bounced back last week from 2 consecutive losses to beat the Cincinnati Bearcast 41-15 at home, covering the 7.5-point spread as favorites. At 5-3 in the conference, to make the Big 12 Championship, the Wildcats need a win over the Cyclones and at least two of the other 6-2 teams in the conference (Arizona State, Colorado, BYU) to lose as well.

Iowa State won for the second consecutive week after 2 straight losses, beating the Utah Utes 31-28 in Salt Lake, but failing to cover the 6.5-point spread as favorites. A win almost guarantees a spot in the Big 12 title game.

Kansas State at Iowa State picks and predictions

Prediction

Iowa State 31, Kansas State 20

Moneyline

Iowa State has scored 31 points or more in 3 straight games and in 4 of its last 5. In all 3 of Kansas State’s losses it failed to reach 20 points. The Wildcats have scored 29 points or more in all their wins.

Kansas State QB Avery Johnson has thrown 6 of his 8 INTs in the team’s three losses. Meanwhile, Iowa State’s defense has had multiple picks in 6 games this season.

I like the Cyclones to win but, as all their wins have been by at least 3 points, you get a little more value with the spread.

PASS.

Against the spread

All of Iowa State’s wins have been by at least 3 points and all 3 of Kansas State’s losses have been by more than 3 points.

BET IOWA STATE -2.5 (-110).

Over/Under

All 3 of Kansas State’s losses have had the Under hit and 3 of their last 4 games have had the total go Under the projection.

The last 9 games for Iowa State have alternated hitting the Over and the Under. The last game stayed Over the projected total.

BET UNDER 51.5 (-110).

Arizona State at Kansas State odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Arizona State Sun Devils (7-2, 4-2 Big 12) visit the No. 19 Kansas State Wildcats (7-2, 4-2) on Saturday. Kickoff is at 7 p.m. ET at Bill Snyder Family Stadium (ESPN). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds around the Arizona State vs. Kansas State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Sun Devils have won 2 straight games and expect to have RB Cam Skattebo back in the lineup after missing last week’s 35-31 home win over the UCF Knights in which freshman QB Sam Leavitt threw 3 TD passes. They were 2.5-point home favorites and the Over (55.5) cashed.

The Wildcats are coming off a bye. They last played on Nov. 2 and suffered their second loss of the season to snap a 4-game winning streak. The 24-19 on the road to Houston as 13-point favorites. QB Avery Johnson was picked off twice.

Arizona State at Kansas State picks and predictions

Prediction

Kansas State 27, Arizona State 20

Moneyline

ASU’s only losses this season have been in conference road games, where they are 1-2. K-State is undefeated (4-0) at home and has the ninth-best rushing defense in the nation, allowing only 99.4 rushing yards per game on 3.1 yards per attempt.

Running the ball is ASU’s strength with Skattebo. The Sun Devils average 199 rushing yards per game on 4.7 yards per attempt. Skattebo has 1,001 rushing yards and 1,405 total yards from scrimmage with 13 TDs. If Kansas State slows him, the Sun Devil offense will sputter.

Expect Kansas State to pick up the win, but -300 odds do not have a good enough payout to bet the ML.

PASS.

Against the spread

The only 2 games in which Arizona State has failed to cover the spread were their 2 road losses, being defeated by 10 points by the Cincinnati Bearcats and 8 by the Texas Tech Red Raiders.

The Wildcats are 3-6 ATS on the season. Their last home win was by 2 points.

BET ARIZONA STATE +7.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The only 2 games with the Under cashing in for the Sun Devils in conference play have been their 2 road losses. They averaged 18 points in those games.

Kansas State’s last 2 games have stayed Under the projected total. The Over has hit in 4 of their 7 wins and in 3 of their 4 conference wins.

BET UNDER 51.5 (-110).

LSU at Kansas State odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The LSU Tigers (2-0) and Kansas State Wildcats (2-0) tangle Thursday in Manhattan. Tip-off at Bramlage Coliseum will be at 9 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the LSU vs. Kansas State odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

LSU is on the road after clocking 2 home wins, although the second of those wins did not come easily. On Sunday, the Tigers failed to cover a 19-point number and nearly failed to earn a victory in a 74-61 contest against Alabama State. LSU trailed by 8 at halftime and was deadlocked with the Hornets inside the 8-minute mark.

Kansas State last played on Saturday, failing to cover a 23.5-point spread in a 77-64 win over Cleveland State. The Wildcats shot 57.8% from the floor, but was somewhat undone by 19 turnovers. KSU is seeking its sixth straight win on home hardwood.

LSU at Kansas State picks and predictions

Prediction

Kansas State 78, LSU 70

Moneyline

No interest: PASS.

Against the spread

These teams met last year in Baton Rouge, and KSU picked up a 15-point road win. The Wildcats outshot the Tigers and had 12 offensive rebounds to LSU’s 5 in a 75-60 victory.

In the off-season, Kansas State added some scoring punch, and figure the Wildcats as having the systemic defensive-efficiency edge. KSU has also been sharp from distance, posting a 43.4% 3-point mark through 2 games.

With LSU being away from home for a first time and coming off a bit of a disappointing performance against Alabama State, consider a partial-unit play on KANSAS STATE -7.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Both sides have a lot of veterans, and both play responsible defense and are adept at forcing sub-optimum looks.

Last year’s matchup cashed on an Under 144.

The power matchup should bring a lot of energy from both sides, and the UNDER 149.5 (-110) is the value play.

New Orleans at Kansas State odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The New Orleans Privateers open their season at the Kansas State Wildcats Tuesday at Bramlage Coliseum. Tipoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the New Orleans vs. Kansas State odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

New Orleans went 10-23 last season and 4-14 in the Southland Conference. Their struggles generally came on the road with a 2-15 record while going 7-6 at home. Their program has been slowly gaining some exposure. They played No. 1 Purdue hard in December 2022. The Privateers are only returning a couple of players from last year’s squad. Junior F Omarion Henry figures to see a large role after averaging 3.4 PPG and 1.6 RPG off the bench.

K-State went 19-15 last season and 8-10 in the Big 12. They’re a midrange team in the conference and are expected to finish eighth in the expanded 16-team conference. Fifth-year senior G Coleman Hawkins comes aboard after averaging 12.1 PPG while shooting 36.9% from 3-point land with Illinois last season.

Prediction

Moneyline

This ML has been steamed so high that MGM has taken it off the board. It wasn’t going to be in a range to take in the first place, though.

PASS.

Against the spread

This spread has been rammed up a couple of points Tuesday and opened at 26 1/2. Can KSU thump this NOLA team by 31? Sure. Is it likely to happen with 9 newcomers and no continuity on offense? Negative.

Over/Under

KSU is 7-3 O/U in their last 10 games. Meanwhile New Orleans is 3-7. According to Pregame.com, early bettors like the Over here, and it’s probable to rise a point or two before tipoff. Get in before that happens.

LEAN KANSAS STATE -13 (-110).

Kansas State has scored 29 or more points in 7 of its 8 games this season. Houston has scored 17 or fewer points in 4 of its last 5 games and has been shut out twice. With Johnson’s dual-threat abilities at QB, Kansas State has a big advantage.

Over/Under

BET OVER 45.5 (-110).

Kansas State will be responsible for carrying a majority of the load in this matchup, and it is more than able to. It has scored 29 or more points in 7 of its 8 games this season and 42 or more in 2 of its last 4. It has also given up 18 or more points in each of its last 5 games, while Houston has allowed 19 or more in 4 of its last 5.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The No. 16 Kansas State Wildcats (6-1, 3-1 Big 12) welcome the Kansas Jayhawks (2-5, 1-3) to Bill Snyder Family Stadium in Manhattan, KS. Kickoff is set for Saturday at 8 p.m. ET (ESPN2). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds around the Kansas vs. Kansas State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Kansas State is No. 16 in the US LBM Coaches Poll. The Wildcats are coming off a massive 45-18 win over the West Virginia Mountaineers, closing as a 2.5-point road favorite. They have won 3 straight games after losing to No. 12 BYU 38-9 on the road in Week 4. Kansas State is 3-4 against the spread (ATS) on the season and has traded off covering and not over its last 6 games. It is led by QB Avery Johnson, who has 1,401 passing yards and 14 touchdowns.

The Jayhawks beat the Houston Cougars 42-14 Saturday in Week 8 action, closing as a 5-point home favorite. Kansas snapped a 5-game losing streak with the defeat and is just 1-6 ATS on the season. Kansas has lost all 3 games at home and is 0-3 ATS in those. Its lone cover was in that Week 8 game against the Cougars.

Kansas at Kansas State picks and predictions

Prediction

Kansas State 38, Kansas 28

Moneyline

PASS.

There’s no great value here. The Wildcats are far too expensive to take as a home favorite, and the Jayhawks have unfortunately not been good enough on the road to consider here either.

Against the spread

BET KANSAS STATE -10 (-115).

The Jayhawks have been awful on the road this season. They are 0-3 ATS on the road and 0-2 ATS as an underdog. In those games, they lost by 4 to West Virginia and 4 to Arizona State, respectively closing as a 1-point and 2.5-point underdog in those games.

Similarly, the Wildcats have been on fire and have covered in 3 of their last 5. They have won by 35, 24 and 22 at home this season and are 2-1 ATS as a home team. Kansas State has scored 42 or more in 2 of its last 3, so it should have the offensive firepower to cover a double-digit spread.

Put it all together and take KANSAS STATE -10 (-115).

Over/Under

Kansas State at Colorado odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Kansas State Wildcats (4-1, 1-1 Big 12) and Colorado Buffaloes (4-1, 2-0) meet in a Saturday night Big 12 tussle in Boulder. The opening kickoff at Folsom Field will be at 10:15 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds around Kansas State vs. Colorado odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Kansas State, which is No. 19 in the US LBM Coaches Poll, was routed at BYU Sept. 21 but has otherwise handled its business through 5 games. KSU ranks in the top 20 nationally in rushing offense (252.2 yards per game) and rushing defense (91.8 YPG).

Colorado also lost a September road game (Sept. 7 at Nebraska). CU has won 3 straight since and has done so with the benefit of a slew of takeaways. The Buffaloes filed 9 takeaways and were an aggregate plus-7 in turnovers over those 3 victories.

Both teams had byes last week.

Kansas State at Colorado picks and predictions

Prediction

Kansas State 31, Colorado 28

Moneyline

Kansas State’s last 3 games include 2 impressive wins and a Sept. 21 clunker at BYU. In that contest, the Wildcats were a minus-3 in turnovers, and they were undone by multiple defensive/special-teams scores and multiple short-field touchdowns. KSU outgained BYU by more than 100 yards in that one.

Colorado’s recent triumphs include multiple slow starts and a big plus in the turnover department.

The Wildcats are prone to havoc plays on offense, and that’s a problem area. But KSU is solid in producing explosive plays, especially on the ground, and that in turn is a big issue for the Buffaloes defense.

Colorado’s offensive exploits don’t match up, and the Buffs have played FBS games against UCF, Baylor, Colorado State, and Nebraska. That’s not a lot of proficient defense as a group. The KSU defense sports solid analytics and has been a top-notch group in the red zone.

Look for the Wildcats to have better quality drives in the Saturday exchange at Folsom Field. A near-70% win probability is best leveraged with a price on FanDuel Sportsbook: BET KANSAS STATE (-154).

Against the spread

PASS: The Wildcats ML play is the best one in this game.

Over/Under

Six of the last 7 games at Folsom Field have hit the Over.

Colorado’s close games have been hitting the Over. Look for Kansas State to control this one early but for quick-paced Colorado to have answers in a point spiral past the number. KSU can be leaky against the pass, so even a 2-score lead can be whittled down late.

TAKE THE OVER 55.5 (-115).

Oklahoma State at Kansas State odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The No. 25 Kansas State Wildcats (3-1, 0-1 Big 12) welcome the No. 20 Oklahoma State Cowboys (3-1, 0-1) to Bill Snyder Family Stadium Saturday. Kickoff is set for noon ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds around the Oklahoma State vs. Kansas State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Oklahoma State is No. 20 and Kansas State is No. 25 in the US LBM Coaches Poll.

The Cowboys won their first 3 games of the season, closing as double-digit favorites in each. The only one they failed to cover was a 39-31 win over Arkansas in overtime in Week 2. As for their 4th game, they struggled against the Utah Utes, losing 22-19 yet closing as 1-point underdogs. QB Alan Bowman has led the way for Oklahoma State, throwing for 1,173 yards along with 10 touchdowns through 4 games.

The Wildcats have an eerily similar story so far this season. They won their first 3 games, handily beating UT Martin, Tulane and Arizona. They then were obliterated 38-9 by the BYU Cougars on the road Saturday. Kansas State closed as a 7.5-point favorite too. It is led by QB Avery Johnson, who has 620 passing yards and 6 touchdowns on the season.

Oklahoma State at Kansas State picks and predictions

Prediction

Kansas State 28, Oklahoma State 24

Moneyline

PASS.

The Cowboys are capable of pulling off the upset here, but they are better played on the spread. Similarly, the Wildcats (-210) aren’t worth a play as an expensive moneyline favorite.

Against the spread

BET KANSAS STATE -4.5 (-120).

While the Sooners’ loss to Utah may look more impressive than the Wildcats’ poor Week 4 effort, Oklahoma State didn’t have to play Utah star QB Cam Rising. The Sooners also scored a mere 3 points throughout the entire first 3 quarters, unable to capitalize on multiple Utah turnovers throughout the game. The Sooners have allowed 20 or more points to 3 offenses that are not as competent as Johnson and company.

Similarly, the Wildcats do have a significant home win over Arizona, throttling their opponent 31-7 on primetime action in that Week 3 battle. Expect Kansas State to bounce back at home, where it has allowed a total of 13 points through 2 games.

Take KANSAS STATE -4.5 (-120).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 57.5 (-115).

The Cowboys have gone Under in 2 straight games. They scored just 19 against Utah in Week 4 and allowed just 10 to Tulsa in Week 3, sending both games Under the projected total. They are 2-2 O/U on the season.

The Wildcats are 1-3 O/U and have allowed single digits to both home foes this season. They have gone Under in 2 straight as well, either scoring or allowing single digits in each game.

With those trends in mind, back UNDER 57.5 (-115).
