Kansas State at TCU picks and predictions

Prediction

TCU 85, Kansas State 79

Moneyline

PASS.

The moneyline odds do not present enough return on investment for the risk involved.

Against the spread

LEAN TCU -4.5 (-110).

With a top-ranked defense at home, expect the Horned Frogs to maintain the Wildcats. Both teams are on ATS hot streaks coming into this matchup with TCU being 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 and Kansas State covering in their last 4.

Over/Under

BET OVER 147.5 (-110).

The Over is 5-1 in TCU’s last 6 games to improve its record to 10-6 O/U.

The Wildcats are 8-0 to the Over in their last 8 road games against a team with a winning record and they are 9-7 O/U on the year.

Both teams have shown tendencies to score a lot of points and this top-20 matchup should be no different.

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

The Oklahoma State Cowboys (9-6, 1-2 Big 12) battle the No. 13 Kansas State Wildcats (14-1, 3-0) on Tuesday. Tip from Bramlage Coliseum is set for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Oklahoma State vs. Kansas State odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Oklahoma State fell 56-46 to Texas on Saturday, failing to cover as 3-point home underdogs. In its last 10 games, it is 7-3 against the spread (ATS) and 8-7 ATS on the season. The Cowboys’ defense is their strength, ranking 3rd in the nation in opponents FG percentage (36.4%) and 14th in the nation in opponents 3-point FG percentage (28.4%).

Kansas State knocked off Baylor 97-95 in overtime on Saturday, covering as 7.5-point road underdogs. The Wildcats have covered the spread in each of their last 3 games and 6 times in their last 7.

Oklahoma State at Kansas State picks and predictions

Prediction

Kansas State 77, Oklahoma State 69

Moneyline

PASS.

There is not enough return on investment to make a moneyline play worth the risk.

Against the spread

LEAN KANSAS STATE -5.5 (-105).

The Wildcats are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games against teams with a winning straight up record. Playing at home against a team with a top-ranked defense, they will look to get the ball into the paint for easier points.

Kansas State has played great in front of its fans this season, with a home record of 8-0.

Over/Under

BET OVER 137.5 (-110).

The Over/Under is 8-2 in the Wildcats’ last 10 games and 9-6 over the season. Scoring 79.7 points per game, they look to push the ball and put points on the board at a higher rate than most teams.

For the Cowboys, the Over is 5-0 in their last 5 games against teams with a winning straight up record meaning they rise to the occasion against better teams. They will need to put the ball in the basket to keep up with a top-ranked Kansas State team.

Kansas State at Texas odds, picks and predictions

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

The Kansas State Wildcats (12-1, 1-0 Big 12) take on the No. 6 Texas Longhorns (12-1, 1-0) Tuesday. Tip from Moody Center is at 9 p.m. ET (Longhorn Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Kansas State vs. Texas odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

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.

Sugar Bowl: Kansas State vs. Alabama odds, picks and predictions

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

The No. 9 Kansas State Wildcats (10-3) will take on the No. 5 Alabama Crimson Tide (10-2) in the Sugar Bowl at Caesars Superdome Saturday. Kickoff is scheduled for noon ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Kansas State vs. Alabama odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Rankings courtesy of AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports

Alabama defeated Auburn 49-27 in its last game of the season to cover as 21.5-point favorites. The Crimson Tide had losses to LSU and Tennessee this season that prevented them from advancing to the College Football Playoffs.

Kansas State secured a 31-28 overtime win over TCU in the team’s final game of the regular season to cover as 1-point favorites. The Wildcats finished the regular season on a 4-game winning streak.

  • Over/Under (O/U): 56.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

Kansas State vs. Alabama picks and predictions

Prediction

Alabama 38, Kansas State 24

Moneyline

Even though Alabama is favored in this contest, AVOID the moneyline in this game. I wouldn’t advise taking Alabama to win straight up at the current odds as you’ll get a minimal return if the Crimson Tide secure the victory.

Against the spread

ALABAMA -6.5 (-111) is the way to go as the Crimson Tide look to finish the season strong. Alabama will have the majority of its starters available, despite a few players sitting out to prepare for the NFL Draft.

Over/Under

Alabama may try to make a statement on Saturday that they deserved to be in the College Football Playoffs, so OVER 56.5 (-110) is where I’m leaning. With QB Bryce Young looking to cement himself as the No. 1 overall pick in next year’s draft, I expect a big game from the talented signal-caller.

The Over is 7-0 in Alabama’s last 7 games when the team allowed 200-plus rushing yards in its previous game. Meanwhile, Kansas State has gone over in 5 of its last 6 games after allowing 450-plus yards of offense in its previous game.

Big 12 Championship: Kansas State vs. TCU odds, picks and predictions

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

The No. 10 Kansas State Wildcats (9-3, 7-2 Big 12) will face the No. 3 TCU Horned Frogs (12-0, 9-0) in the Big 12 Championship on Saturday at AT&T Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for noon ET (ABC). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Kansas State vs. TCU odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

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

The Wildcats secured a 47-27 victory over Kansas last week to cover as 11.5-point favorites at home. After a disappointing loss to Texas on Nov. 5, Kansas State has strung together 3 straight conference wins.

The Horned Frogs cruised to a 62-14 win over Iowa State last week to easily cover as 9.5-point favorites at home. TCU boasts the No. 3 spot in the College Football Playoff Rankings.

Kansas State vs. TCU picks and predictions

Prediction

TCU 38, Kansas State 31

Moneyline

I’ll take TCU (-135) to secure the win and cement its spot in the playoffs. The Horned Frogs defeated the Wildcats 38-28 on Oct. 22, but Kansas State starting QB Adrian Martinez left the game early with a leg injury.

Against the spread

TCU -2.5 (-112) is an intriguing wager in this game at the current odds. The Horned Frogs have an electric offense that should have no issues moving the ball on the Wildcats.

The Horned Frogs are 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 games following an ATS win and they are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. TCU also went 6-2-1 ATS against conference opponents this season.

Over/Under

Considering that it’s a Big 12 showdown on Saturday, OVER 62 (-108) is an enticing bet to take. Kansas State averages 33.4 points per game (34th in the nation) while TCU averages 41.3 points per game (3rd in the nation).

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 State at West Virginia odds, picks and predictions

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

The No. 17 Kansas State Wildcats (7-3, 5-2 Big 12) will square off against the West Virginia Mountaineers (4-6, 2-5) on Saturday at Mountaineer Field at Milan Puskar Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 2 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Kansas State vs. West Virginia odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Wildcats are coming off an impressive 31-3 victory over Baylor where they covered as 2.5-point underdogs on the road. Kansas State has positioned itself for a solid bowl game as they hold the No. 15 spot in the College Football Playoff Rankings.

The Mountaineers took down Oklahoma 23-20 last week to end a 3-game losing streak. While it’s been a disappointing season for West Virginia, it can play spoiler to Kansas State on Saturday before finishing the season with a matchup against No. 24 Oklahoma State next week.

Kansas State at West Virginia picks and predictions

Prediction

Kansas State 31, West Virginia 27

Moneyline

Go ahead and AVOID the moneyline in this game with Kansas State being heavily favored. Taking the Wildcats to win straight up isn’t worth the risk considering the lack of a return you’ll receive.

Against the spread

WEST VIRGINIA +7.5 (-116) is an enticing wager in this game as it could be a back-and-forth Big 12 showdown. The Mountaineers are looking to finish the season strong as QB JT Daniels should have some success airing it out on Saturday.

Kansas State is 1-3-1 ATS in its last 5 games following a win and 1-4 ATS in its last 5 meetings with West Virginia.

Over/Under

Every Big 12 game seemingly hits the Over, so OVER 55 (-106) appears to be the wise bet in this game. Kansas State is averaging 30.2 points per game (43rd in the nation) while West Virginia is averaging 27.4 points per game (65th in the nation), so points could be scored in bunches Saturday.

The No. 22 Kansas State Wildcats (6-3, 4-2 Big 12) and Baylor Bears (6-3, 4-2) tangle Saturday at McLane Stadium in Waco. Kickoff is slated for 7 p.m. ET (FS1).

Rankings courtesy of the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Kansas State — No. 19 in the College Football Playoff rankings — heads into this game off 3 straight games against ranked foes. KSU went 1-2 over that stretch. The Wildcats were 3-point underdogs against Texas and lost to the Longhorns 34-27. A season-high 329 passing yards helped KSU get back into the game despite trailing 31-10 at halftime.

The Bears were 3-point underdogs at Oklahoma last Saturday and defeated the Sooners 38-35. Baylor ran for 281 yards and has cranked out 200 or more rushing yards in each of 3 straight victories.

BU held KSU to 263 total yards in a 20-10 victory last season (Nov. 20, 2021). The Wildcats haven’t beaten the Bears in 4 meetings since 2017.

Kansas State has already had a couple of nice bounce-back victories this season. Look for the Wildcats defense to keep the visitors in this contest. The price here is right, and Baylor may be in for a hangover game after its win over Oklahoma.

TAKE KANSAS STATE (+112).

Against the spread

Consider an insurance plan on the above. TAKE THE WILDCATS +2.5 (-106) — perhaps a half-unit on each play.

Over/Under

PASS: this one seems destined for a 27-24 tally or thereabouts.

Texas at Kansas State odds, picks and predictions

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

The Texas Longhorns (5-3, 3-2 Big 12) travel to Manhattan to battle the  Kansas State Wildcats (6-2, 4-1) Saturday at 7 p.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Texas vs. Kansas State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Kansas State is No. 14 in the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY sports and No. 13 in the initial College Football Playoff rankings.

The last time we saw Texas on the field, they blew a big lead in losing 41-34 at Oklahoma State. After a bye week to recover, Texas goes back on the road to visit Kansas State.

Since taking over at Texas last season, coach Steve Sarkisian is 1-6 in true road games. Kansas State is a good team and funny things can happen to teams who visit.

Kansas State  looks to win this game and stay on pace with TCU for a hopeful playoff berth to finish off a miraculous season. Transfer QB Adrian Martinez has not been the sparkplug many had hoped for. With him ailing last week, the team turned to Will Howard, and he led them to a 48-0 win against Oklahoma State.

It is unknown who will start for the Wildcats this week. But if Martinez is not fully healthy, common sense suggests that Howard should start. With his spark and the ability of Deuce Vaughn, Kansas State has a real chance of sending Texas to a 2nd straight road loss.

Texas at Kansas State picks and predictions

Prediction

Kansas State 28, Texas 24

Moneyline

BET KANSAS STATE (+120).

The Wildcats come into this game with something to really play for. They need to win out to gain a berth in the Big 12 Championship game. While Texas still has a path, it is much more convoluted.

I like the Wildcats in this spot, and they should not be underdogs at home. Kansas State +120 is my favorite play in this game.

Against the spread

AVOID.

The underdog Wildcats should win this game. I would rather take them on the ML then split the wager between the 2.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 55 (-115).

Both teams in this game can score. But this scoring has come against mediocre defenses. When faced with a more challenging matchup, both teams tend to turtle up. While both teams will get to 20-plus points, I do not see both getting to 30. So, I lean to the Under 55 (-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.

The No. 9 Oklahoma State Cowboys (6-1, 3-1 Big 12) and the No. 22 Kansas State Wildcats (5-2, 3-1) play Saturday at Bill Snyder Family Stadium in Manhattan, Kan. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Oklahoma State vs. Kansas State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Cowboys rebounded nicely with a 41-34 win over Texas, making up for a 43-40 OT setback at TCU which left a bad taste in their collective mouths. This OSU offense is strong, going for 34 or more points in all 7 games, cashing the Over 6 times overall.

The Wildcats are hanging on to a top-25 spot despite losing at TCU 38-28 last time out. The loss for K-State came after a bye, so that was a difficult pill to swallow. Kansas State is 3-1 SU/ATS at home, with its lone loss to fellow top-25 team Tulane.

Oklahoma State at Kansas State picks and predictions

Prediction

Oklahoma State 38, Kansas State 35

Moneyline

OKLAHOMA STATE (+105) is a value play here at plus-money, as I don’t think Kansas State (-130) is anywhere near as explosive on offense.

The Cowboys have registered 34 or more points on offense all 7 games this season, and the only concern is whether the defense can make things happen. OSU has been dinged for 31 or more points in each of the last 3 outings.

Kansas State’s offense has been inconsistent this season, and the pass game is nearly non-existent with 169.3 yards per game, ranking 118th out of 131 FBS teams. The run game is amazing, but that’s where Oklahoma State actually is decent on D.

Against the spread

OKLAHOMA STATE +1.5 (-108) doesn’t make a lot of sense to play unless you are absolutely convinced Kansas State (-112) is going to win by exactly 1 point. Just roll with the money line instead, and get plus-money.

Over/Under

OVER 55.5 (-110) is easily the best play on the board.

Oklahoma State’s offense hasn’t been slowed down much at any point this season, and Kansas State isn’t about to change that. And the Cowboys have been terrible on D, allowing 449.6 total yards per game. If the Wildcats can actually pass, this game will be easily in the 60’s or 70’s before the dust settles.
