Kansas vs. Kansas State Predictions
This game sets up nicely for Kansas State to cover the 7.5-point spread. Yes, Kansas is playing at home, but the Jayhawks have not covered the spread in their last five home games. These two teams met just a few weeks ago (Jan. 17), and Kansas State won 83-82 at home. The Wildcats aren’t expected to repeat that success in Lawrence, but they can certainly make a push for the sweep in this rivalry.
Kansas State has found some success on the road this season too, beating No. 10 Texas and No. 11 Baylor on enemy territory earlier this month. It’s hard to believe the Wildcats will win this one, but the 7.5 point spread is too high. Take KSU!
