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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Kansas State Wildcats (15-15, 9-10 Big 12) welcome the No. 10 Iowa State Cyclones (22-8, 12-7) to Bramlage Coliseum in Manhattan, Kansas, Saturday. Tip-off is set for 1:30 p.m. ET (CBS). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the Iowa State vs. Kansas State odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

Iowa State, which is No. 10 in the USA TODAY Sports Men’s Basketball Coaches Poll, lost to the No. 22 BYU Cougars 88-85 in OT Tuesday, failing to cover as a 9.5-point home favorite. The Cyclones have scored 68 or fewer points in 2 of their last 4 games, going 3-1 straight up. They are 2-4 against the spread (ATS) in their last 6 contests, but have gone 16-14 ATS on the season.

The Wildcats have won back-to-back games. They snapped a 4-game skid with a 65-56 win over the Colorado Buffaloes Sunday, covering as 6.5-point home favorites with the Under (141.5) hitting. Kansas State followed up that performance with a 54-49 victory as an 8.5-point underdog at the Cincinnati Bearcats Wednesday as the Under (138.5) cashed. The Wildcats are 8-4 in their last 12 games, going 9-3 ATS. Kansas State is 17-13 ATS on the season.

Iowa State at Kansas State picks and predictions

Prediction

Iowa State 72, Kansas State 67

Moneyline

PASS.

There’s no playable wager here. The Wildcats haven’t performed well against top-tier Big 12 sides, and the Cyclones should come out on top, but are too expensive to take. Avoid the moneyline in this one.

Against the spread

BET KANSAS STATE +6.5 (-105).

The Wildcats have been a covering machine in conference play and are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games. They have allowed 66 or fewer points in 3 of their last 4 contests, so they should defend well enough to keep this close.

The Cyclones are just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as favorites and 2-3 ATS in their last 5 on the road. Iowa State has struggled over the last few weeks, and those issues should continue Saturday.

Take KANSAS STATE +6.5 (-105).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 140.5 (-105).

The Cyclones have gone 13-17 O/U on the season and 1-3 O/U in their last 4 games.

The Wildcats have gone Under in 2 straight games and 6 of their last 7. They have allowed 66 or fewer points in 3 of their last 4 games. Back UNDER 140.5 (-105).

Kansas at Kansas State odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The No. 17 Kansas Jayhawks (16-6, 7-4 Big 12) face the Kansas State Wildcats (11-11, 5-6), their in-state rival, on the road on Saturday. Tip-off from Bramlage Coliseum is at 2 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the Kansas vs. Kansas State odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

The Jayhawks are No. 17 in the USA TODAY Sports Men’s Basketball Coaches Poll but in 5th place in the Big 12. They are coming off a 69-52 home win over Iowa State on Monday, covering the 3-point spread as favorites.

The Wildcats have bounced back from a 6-game losing streak in conference play to win 4 in a row. They last played Tuesday, beating Arizona State 71-70 on the road as 3-point underdogs.

When the 2 teams met on the Jayhawks’ home court, Kansas won 84-74 Jan. 18, but Kansas State covered the 15-point spread as underdogs.

Kansas at Kansas State picks and predictions

Prediction

Kansas State 75, Kansas 72

Moneyline

The Jayhawks have not won the last 2 meetings in Manhattan. Since their win over the Wildcats, they have been held under 75 points in 3 of their last 5 games.

Opponents have not scored more than 70 points since the Wildcats’ loss to the Jayhawks.

Kansas State is streaking right now, having won 4 games in a row.

This is a good day to pick the underdogs for an outright win.

BET KANSAS STATE (+145). 

Against the spread

Kansas State is 8-2 ATS in its last 10 games and has covered the spread in 7 straight.

Kansas is 2-5 ATS in its last 7 games.

Betting the Wildcats to cover is not a bad bet, but expecting the outright win, the moneyline gives you the best value.

The Wildcats have covered the spread against Kansas in their last 3 meetings in Manhattan, so feel safe with an ATS bet on them, but if you like the moneyline, PASS. 

Over/Under

Their meeting last month had a total of 158. Their last 7 meetings have surpassed 140 total points.

Four of Kansas’ last 6 games have surpassed 140 and Kanas State’s last 3 have as well.

BET OVER 141.5 (-105).

Kansas State at Iowa State odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Kansas State Wildcats (9-11, 3-6 Big 12) visit the No. 3 Iowa State Cyclones (17-3, 7-2) Saturday. Tip-off from Hilton Coliseum in Ames is set for 2 p.m. ET (ESPN2). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the Kansas State vs. Iowa State odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

Kansas State rolls into its road trip after back-to-back home wins, including a dominant 85-57 beatdown of the Oklahoma State Cowboys Wednesday. It easily covered as a 7-point favorite with the Under (143) hitting. Four starters scored in double figures, led by G Brendan Hausen’s 18 points. The Wildcats defense was all over the Cowboys, forcing 21 turnovers.

Iowa State couldn’t close it out in overtime Monday, falling to the Arizona Wildcats 86-75 and missing the cover as a 2.5-point road underdog. The Over (152.5) hit, but the Cyclones didn’t do themselves any favors with 18 turnovers. G Tamin Lipsey put up a solid effort, dropping 18 points.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Kansas State at Iowa State picks and predictions

Prediction

Iowa State 78, Kansas State 66

Moneyline

PASS.

Iowa State (-1600) will bounce back Saturday at home, but Kansas State will keep it within the spread.

Against the spread

BET KANSAS STATE +14.5 (-102).

Iowa State has been dominant at home, boasting an 11-0 record in Ames while covering the spread in its last 4 home games. However, after playing 3 of its last 4 on the road, it has shown some vulnerability, dropping 2 of those 4. While it should take care of business at home, I don’t think this will be an easy win.

Kansas State has had its struggles this season, but coach Jerome Tang has it trending in the right direction. It has covered 5 straight games, facing some tough competition in West Virginia, Baylor, Kansas and Texas Tech. Historically, it has also played Iowa State well, covering 7 of the last 10 head-to-head meetings.

The Cyclones are tough at home, but Kansas State is playing with confidence right now. I expect it to keep this game close and make Iowa State work for it.

Over/Under

PASS.

I’m not loving this number. The market has been very efficient when it comes to totals for these teams, as they have combined for a 19-21 O/U record. Their last 6 meetings have gone 3-3 O/U, so there’s no real trend to lean on. I’m staying away from this one and sticking to the spread.

Kansas State at Kansas picks and predictions

Prediction

Kansas 72, Kansas State 54

Moneyline

The Wildcats have not won on the road yet this season, going 0-4 so far. The Jayhawks are 8-1 at home.

Kansas State has not beaten Kansas in Lawrence since Jan. 2006.

The Wildcats have lost 7 of their last 8 games overall.

Don’t expect that to change in this game, but that doesn’t mean the -1600 odds are worth betting. That has almost no value.

PASS.

Against the spread

Five of the last 6 wins for Kansas have been by at least 15 points. The Jayhawks have covered the spread in their last 7 wins.

Four of the Wildcats’ last 7 losses have been by 16 or more points.

BET KANSAS -14.5 (-115).

Over/Under

While the O/U is 5-0-1 in the last 6 meetings between these teams, the Over has only cashed once for the Jayhawks all season, with 14 straight games hitting the Under.

The Under has cashed in for 5 of the last 6 games for Kansas State.

BET UNDER 139.5 (-115).

Houston at Kansas State odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The No. 11 Houston Cougars (11-3, 3-0 Big 12) travel to meet the Kansas State Wildcats (7-7, 1-2) Saturday. Tip-off at Bramlage Coliseum in Manhattan, Kan. is set for 6 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the Houston vs. Kansas State odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

The Cougars have won 7 in a row since Dec. 7, while covering 4 in a row. The Under and Over have alternated in each of the past 5 outings. Houston has won its only true road game this season at Oklahoma State Dec. 30, winning 60-47 as a 11.5-point favorite as the Under (137.5) cashed.

Houston’s offense is rather mediocre, hitting just 76.4 PPG while managing just 45.8% from the field. It is No. 3 in the nation hitting 41.4% from behind the 3-point line. Defensively, UH is No. 1 with 54.0 PPG allowed and a 34.3% field-goal percentage. Teams are hitting just 28.2% from behind the 3-point line.

The Wildcats have dropped 5 of the past 6 games, including a 79-66 loss at Oklahoma State Tuesday as a 2-point underdog. The Under has cashed in 4 in a row for K-State.

Kansas State is so-so offensively, going for 76.2 PPG, while also posting a 45.8% mark from the field, and 34.0% from behind the 3-point line. The Wildcats aren’t very good on the free-throw line, either, hitting just 67.3%. The defense has struggled, allowing 70.2 PPG, while teams are hitting 35.7% from behind the 3-point line against them.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Houston at Kansas State picks and predictions

Prediction

Houston 72, Kansas State 56

Moneyline

Houston (-700) will cost you 7 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not nearly enough return. In fact, that means you would need to risk $100 for just $14.29 of profit.

Even as part of a multi-leg parlay, you cannot include the Cougars, as they would suck all of the value out of your ticket.

PASS.

Against the spread

PLAY HOUSTON -10.5 (-115) laying the points. The Cougars have covered 4 in a row, including the only previous true road game at Oklahoma State on Dec. 30.

For Kansas State +10.5 (-105), it is 2-4 ATS in the past 6 games, while also going 2-4 ATS in 6 home outings this season.

The Wildcats faced Houston last season, with the Cougars winning 74-52 at home Jan. 27, 2024 as a 15-point favorite as the Under (129.5) hung on.

Over/Under

UNDER 128.5 (-110) is a strong play in this Big 12 battle.

Again, the Under cashed in the only previous meeting as conference mates Jan. 27 last season.

Houston has cashed the Under at a 5-2 clip in the past 7 games, and that’s likely not terribly surprising considering it leads the nation in points per game allowed and defensive field-goal percentage.

K-State has hit the low in 4 in a row, going for 71 or fewer points in 6 consecutive outings. Defensively, the Wildcats are allowing just 69.7 PPG in the past 3 outings.

Rate Bowl: Rutgers vs. Kansas State odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Rutgers vs. Kansas State odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Rutgers Scarlet Knights (7-5) and Kansas State Wildcats (8-4) meet Thursday in the Rate Bowl from Chase Field in Phoenix. Kickoff is set for 5:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds around the Rutgers vs. Kansas State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Rutgers ended their season on a high note, winning 3 of 4 and throttling the Michigan State Spartans 41-14 in the regular-season finale. The Scarlet Knights were 1-point road underdogs at East Lansing. They also started out their season hot, winning their first 4 games and covering in 3 of them. A midseason 4-game losing streak snapped any hope of a Top-25 finish. Rutgers finished 6-5-1 ATS and was led by QB Athan Kaliakmanis, who threw for 2,459 yards and 17 touchdowns.

The Wildcats, who were ranked multiple times throughout the season, started the year off strong, winning 7 of their first 8 games. They didn’t have the same drive down the stretch, though, losing 3 of their final 4 which included a 29-21 road loss as 2-point underdogs to then-No. 16 Iowa State to close out the regular season Nov. 30. Kansas State was just 4-8 against the spread (ATS) on the season and 1-5 ATS in away games. The Wildcats were led by QB Avery Johnson, who threw for 2,517 yards and 22 touchdowns, playing in all 12 games.

Rutgers vs. Kansas State picks and predictions

Prediction

Kansas State 28, Rutgers 24

Moneyline

PASS.

There’s no great value here. The Wildcats (-275) have the better side and should come out on top, but they are too expensive to bet to win outright. The Scarlet Knights (+210) have far more value on the spread.

Against the spread

BET RUTGERS +7 (-115).

Simply put, away from home, Kansas State has not performed well. It has lost 3 of its last 5 on the road and struggled immensely to end the season, covering in just one of its last 4 games. The Wildcats offense is what hit a wall, scoring 21 or fewer points in 3 of those 4.

Rutgers had a midseason collapse but surged to end the season, covering in 3 of its last 4 and scoring at least 31 points in its last 3 outings. The Scarlet Knights defense also stepped up to the plate, allowing 19 or fewer points in 3 of their last 4.

Take the side that ended the regular season on a high note. BACK RUTGERS +7 (-115).

Over/Under

BET OVER 50.5 (-105).

Both teams have competent quarterbacks that should aid scoring. The Scarlet Knights tallied at least 26 in 5 of their last 6 games and went Over in 6 of their last 7, allowing 26 points per game over their final 2 contests.

The Wildcats went 4-4 O/U in their last 8 games and scored at least 29 in 5 of those. Kansas State’s defense also had issues, allowing at least 24 points in 5 of its last 7.

Considering the trends, BET OVER 50.5 (-105).

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).
