Kansas vs Kansas State Picks for 10/26: Bet on Kansas State to Win

Kansas has not had the kind of season the Jayhawks were expecting, but the team would like nothing more than to stick it to their rival. Who doesn’t like an extra dose of petty?

Kansas vs Kansas State: Who Should You Bet?

1. Kansas Just Notched First Win Versus a Power Conference Opponent

The two-win Jayhawks are coming off their first victory against a power conference opponent with a victory against Houston. Jayhawks’ struggles are a bit puzzling with quarterback Jalon Daniels and running back Devin Neal.

Daniels has not been as consistent as Jayhawks fans would have liked as the quarterback has struggled with turnovers. The signal-caller has thrown eight interceptions through the first seven games.

If you are looking to bet online on Kansas, Daniels has not thrown a pick in the last two games.

2. Kansas State Has Wins Over Colorado and Oklahoma State

As the season continues, it is starting to look like Kansas State’s blowout loss to BYU was an anomaly. Since the defeat, the Wildcats have won three straight games.

Kansas State’s last two wins came on the road against Colorado and West Virginia. Not exactly easy places to play. The Wildcats also have victories against Oklahoma State and Tulane.

3. Kansas vs Kansas State Pick: Back Avery Johnson and Wildcats in Rivalry Matchup

Candidly, I was looking for a reason to back Kansas in this spot. It’s a rivalry matchup which tends to run on the closer side.

That said, Kansas has given us every reason to doubt it this season. If Kansas had not topped Houston, this NCAAF spread would likely be even larger. Kansas has been worse this season than a Shedeur Sanders mixtape.

Kansas State quarterback Avery Johnson is going to be the most dynamic athlete on the field. The Wildcats have consistently been the better team all season.

Given this is a rivalry game, Kansas is not going to sneak up on Kansas State. We’re taking Johnson and Kansas State surging at home to cover the sizable spread in the NCAA football lines.
