Kansas State vs Utah betting lines have the Utes at -1½, but we’re picking the Wildcats to pull off a slight upset on the road.

The Wildcats and Utes have ground to make up in the Big 12 Conference, so it’s an important game on Monday night at Jon M. Huntsman Center.

3 Best Kansas State vs Utah ATS, O/U Bets

1. Kansas State ATS (+1½)

It should be a close game between Kansas State and Utah, but despite Utah being a good home team, the Wildcats have shown they’re already good enough to compete away from home.

Betting on road teams in college basketball isn’t always the best strategy, but the Wildcats won consecutive road games against Iowa State and Arizona State, which was followed by home wins over Kansas and Arizona and a loss at BYU that ended a six-game winning streak, per Kansas State vs Utah stats.

We think the underdog Wildcats are the best team in this matchup. Utah suffered back-to-back road losses to West Virginia and Cincinnati, but rebounded to knock off then-No. 17 Kansas at home on Saturday.

Take the Wildcats +1½, which is a generous line from our BetUS sportsbook.

2. Kansas State vs Utah Over 146

My college basketball expert picks have the Kansas State vs Utah game going over 146 points. Given the teams’ averages of 73.8 and 75.3 points per game, we’re backing the over.

Kansas State comes off totals of 85, 80, 71, 81, and 73, so it’s doing plenty of scoring. Utah hasn’t been as impressive on the offensive end, but the Utes scored 75 points when losing 85-75 to Cincinnati last time on court.

It should be a high-scoring contest between the Big 12 rivals and over 146 is well worth including in NCAAB parlay picks.

3. Kansas State First Half ML (+105)

Bettors get +105 for Kansas State to win the game outright, but we’re opting to take it with first-half bets.

A fast start is expected for the Wildcats, who got off to a good start against Arizona when leading 35-29 at halftime. Arizona is a ranked team, so it was an impressive opening 20 minutes from the home side.

Playing that well on the road isn’t as easy but they’re good enough to lead at halftime. Take the generous odds for this online bet.
