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.

Kansas State at Baylor odds, picks and predictions

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

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). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Kansas State vs. Baylor odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

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 at Baylor picks and predictions

Prediction

Kansas State 31, Baylor 24

Moneyline

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.

Kansas State at TCU odds, picks and predictions

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

The Kansas State Wildcats (5-1, 3-0 Big 12) are set to face the TCU Horned Frogs (6-0, 3-0) on Saturday at Amon G. Carter Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Kansas State vs. Horned Frogs odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Wildcats are riding a 3-game winning streak following a disappointing loss to Tulane 4 weeks ago. Kansas State has leaned on QB Adrian Martinez and RB Deuce Vaughn for the majority of its offensive production this season.

The Horned Frogs are the lone undefeated team in the Big 12 after defeating Oklahoma State in a thrilling overtime win last week. QB Max Duggan has been impressive for TCU this season with 1,591 passing yards and 16 passing TDs while also rushing for 261 yards and 4 TDs.

Kansas State enters the Big 12 showdown as the No. 17 ranked team while TCU is No. 8 in the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Kansas State at TCU picks and predictions

Prediction

TCU 38, Kansas State 27

Moneyline

Despite TCU likely taking care of business at home, AVOID the moneyline in this game. The risk of the Horned Frogs losing isn’t worth the return for taking them straight up, though, I don’t mind them at -180 odds if you’re doing a parlay.

Against the spread

TCU -3.5 (-108) is where I’m going in this game as TCU is the better all-around team and they are playing at home. Duggan will create enough explosive plays to cover the spread to help the Horned Frogs remain unbeaten this season.

Over/Under

When it comes to Big 12 matchups, it’s hard not to take the Over in nearly every game. I’ll be siding with OVER 54.5 (-110) in this game as Kansas State and TCU are capable of scoring points in bunches when the offenses are rolling.

The Over is 10-1 in the last 11 games for the Horned Frogs following a straight-up win and they’ve hit the Over in 7 of their last 8 games against a team with a winning record.

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.

The Iowa Hawkeyes (3-2, Big 12 0-2) will welcome the Kansas State Wildcats (4-1, 2-0) to Jack Trice Stadium Saturday. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Kansas State vs. Iowa State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Iowa State kicked its season off with 3 straight wins over SEMO, in-state rival Iowa and then Ohio. It then suffered its first loss to Baylor and its second conference matchup to Kansas.

Points have been difficult for the Cyclones to come by, scoring 10 against Iowa and just 11 against Kansas. They’ve averaged just 15 points per game against Power 5 opponents.

As for Kansas State, it has been led by transfer QB Adrian Martinez who was a stud with the Nebraska Cornhuskers last season. He had 116 passing yards and 171 rushing yards in the Wildcats’ 37-28 win over Texas Tech last weekend.

Kansas State’s only loss on the season was a 17-10 defeat at the hand of Tulane, a painful loss after taking a 10-7 lead into the half. Kansas State is No. 20 in the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Kansas State at Iowa State picks and predictions

Prediction

Kansas State 24, Iowa State 20

Moneyline

PASS.

I like Kansas State here, and considering it has only had 1 one-point win since 2018, I’ll take the slightly better odds on the spread.

Against the spread

BET KANSAS STATE -1.5 (-105).

Iowa State is averaging 26 points per game, but it hasn’t had that same success against quality opponents. While defensively, it limited QB Jalon Daniels last week, it still failed to cover as 3.5-point favorites.

Iowa State has struggled to run the ball against quality sides, not getting over 75 yards against either Kansas or Baylor. The Cyclones don’t have a go-to playmaker like Martinez. QB Hunter Dekkers has struggled this season, throwing 6 interceptions.

Martinez, on the other hand, is having one of the best seasons of his career, averaging almost 100 rushing yards per game. Martinez should have success similar to Daniels as they’re both elite threats on the ground.

The Wildcats have more impressive wins over higher-quality opponents like Oklahoma. With that in mind, I’d back them to cover despite being on the road.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 45.5 (-115).

Given how Iowa State has played against Power 5 sides offensively, it only seems smart to play the under. The Cyclones are allowing 14.4 points per game to opponents this season, the 11th fewest in the nation.

While Martinez is a stud, his arm isn’t what makes him dynamic, and rushing the ball keeps the clock moving. I expect this to be a grind-it-out game like the Cyclones are used to.

If that’s the case, UNDER 45.5 (-115) is the side to be on.

Texas Tech at Kansas State odds, picks and predictions

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

The Texas Tech Red Raiders (3-1, 1-0 Big 12) and the Kansas State Wildcats (3-1, 1-0) meet Saturday at Bill Snyder Family Stadium in Manhattan, Kan. Kickoff is scheduled for noon ET (Big 12 Network | ESPN+). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Texas Tech vs. Kansas State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Red Raiders scored a solid 37-34 overtime victory at home over Texas last week as 7-point underdogs as the Over cashed. It was a nice rebound game after losing at NC State in the week prior.

The Wildcats also bounced back in a big way last weekend. After a disappointing 17-10 home loss to Tulane, K-State hit the road and upset a then top-10 Oklahoma team 41-34, cashing as a 13.5-point underdog as the Over hit.

Texas Tech at Kansas State picks and predictions

Prediction

Texas Tech 29, Kansas State 26

Money line

TEXAS TECH (+250) is worth a roll of the dice here. Even though they are moderate underdogs, the Red Raiders never go away quietly. In 2 of 3 games against FBS opponents, the game has gone to overtime and been decided by just 3 points. The Red Raiders have had a flare for the dramatic so far in 2022.

While Kansas State scored the huge upset last time out in Oklahoma, in its most recent game at home the Wildcats had that disappointing loss to Tulane. It is anything but a consistent group this season.

Against the spread

TEXAS TECH +7.5 (-110) is a strong play if you’re not quite feeling it straight up. The Red Raiders are just 1-6-1 ATS in their past 8 games after a cover in the previous week, so there is some risk here. Of course, K-State is 3-8 ATS in its last 11 following an ATS win, too, so the risk is mitigated somewhat.

While Texas Tech has struggled in this series against the number, the underdog is 5-0-1 ATS in the past 6 meetings.

Over/Under

The UNDER 56.5 (-107) is worth playing lightly.

The Over is 13-6-2 in the past 21 against winning teams for Texas Tech, but the Under is 4-1 in its past five on the road. The Under is also 3-0-1 in the previous four meetings in this series.

K-State’s recent history solidly points to the Under. The Under is 4-1 in the past 5 contests at BSFS, 8-3 in its last 11 games overall and 5-2 in its previous 7 inside the Big 12.

Kansas State at Oklahoma odds, picks and predictions

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

The Kansas State Wildcats (2-1) will face the Oklahoma Sooners (3-0) on Saturday at Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled at 8 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Kansas State vs. Oklahoma odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Wildcats suffered their 1st loss of the season last week against Tulane, losing 17-10 in front of their home crowd. It’s been a slow start to the season for QB Adrian Martinez and Kansas State’s aerial attack on offense with only 1 TD in 3 games, which isn’t necessarily a good sign ahead of a matchup with Oklahoma.

The Sooners have cruised through the first 3 weeks of the season against non-conference opponents, winning by a combined score of 127-30. QB Dillon Gabriel has been extremely efficient for Oklahoma thus far, completing 52 of his 78 passes for 759 yards and 7 TDs while he’s yet to throw an interception.

Oklahoma is ranked No. 6 in the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Kansas State at Oklahoma picks and predictions

Prediction

Oklahoma 34, Kansas State 14

Money line

AVOID wagering on the money line in this game as Oklahoma’s odds are at a number that isn’t worth taking straight up. The Sooners look to be the more well-rounded program entering Week 4 of the college football season, but I can’t advocate betting on them to win at -540 odds.

Against the spread

It will be the first Big 12 matchup of the season for the Sooners and they can make a statement with another lopsided victory. While Kansas State’s defense is a strong unit, the passing attack has been lackluster, so give me OKLAHOMA -12.5 (-112) at home.

The Wildcats are 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 road games against a team with a winning record and the home team is 5-1 ATS in the previous 6 meetings between these programs.

Over/Under

Big 12 conference games tend to be high-scoring affairs, however, it’s tough to expect a back-and-forth game between Kansas State and Oklahoma. UNDER 53.5 (-108) is where I’m going as the defense of the Sooners can give the offense of the Wildcats issues and coach Brent Venables has shown that he’s content running the clock out when Oklahoma has a big lead, which I expect to be the case on Saturday night.

The Under is 4-0 in Kansas State’s last 4 contests against a team with a winning record and the Under is 5-1 in the program’s last 6 games. Also, the Wildcats and Sooners are a combined 6-0 to the Under this season.

Missouri at Kansas State odds, picks and predictions

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

The Missouri Tigers (1-0) and Kansas State Wildcats (1-0) will rekindle an old Big 12 rivalry Saturday at Bill Snyder Family Stadium in Manhattan, Kan. Kickoff is set for noon ET (ESPN2). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Missouri vs. Kansas State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

This will be the 98th meeting between the 2 schools, but the 1st since 2011, which Kansas State won 24-17. Missouri leads the all-time series 59-33-5.

Both squads started the season strong in Week 1, with the Tigers earning a 52-24 win over Louisiana Tech. Quarterback Brady Cook passed for 204 yards and a TD and had a TD run. True-freshman WR Luther Burden — a 5-star prospect — got involved in the short game with 43 yards and 2 TDs on 6 total touches.

The Wildcats pitched a 34-0 shutout over South Dakota State with junior RB Deuce Vaughn dominating the ground game with 126 yards and a score on 18 carries. Fifth-year senior QB Adrian Martinez only threw for 53 yards, but did add 39 yards and a TD on the ground.

Missouri at Kansas State picks and predictions

Prediction

Missouri 30, Kansas State 27

Money line

It’s tempting to take MISSOURI +250 as underdogs with a great return of 2.5 times your investment. Mizzou has a much more aggressive defense than South Dakota State, allowing just 11 yards on the ground against La. Tech last week. K-State will need to air things out against the Tigers to remain competitive, but the question is whether Martinez can keep up with Mizzou’s offense after averaging just 3.5 yards per attempt in Week 1.

Against the spread

If you’re leaning toward a Mizzou win or at least a close game, go ahead and take MISSOURI +7.5 (-108) as the stronger, safer bet. These 2 teams haven’t forgotten their old rivalry and both could use a win as they head into conference play.

Over/Under

This is a tough bet given that neither squad has yet to play against real competition this season. Both offenses ran up the score against inferior opponents, but with these 2 more evenly matched, a tighter game seems more likely.

Last week Missouri turned the ball over twice in the red zone, while Cook missed Burden and others on several deep passes and had more success working the intermediate passing game. The K-State offense is prone to running the ball and working the short passing game more than airing out the ball. These trends imply longer, more methodical drives which generally lead to more field goals and modest scores overall.

Conversely, the Tigers did allow 336 yards passing against La. Tech, which implies a shootout could happen if Martinez is on his A-game. Given the uncertainty of how these two offenses could perform, it’s probably safer to AVOID betting the under/over on this game and waiting until these 2 teams establish themselves against quality competition.
