Letdown
There is no question that this game is not what it was billed as before the season. Kansas State was thought to be a team that could challenge Kansas for the Big 12 title while the Jayhawks were considered a top 5 team. Kansas still might be a Top 5 team but Kansas State is not a threat to win the conference. Kansas won all three of the meetings between the two teams last years. Kansas State is just 2-4 in the Big 12 this season and they are actually in danger of missing the NCAA Tournament. If Kansas State can go into Lawrence and get a big road win it would be a huge boost to their season. It won’t be easy though as Kansas is still considered the top team in the conference along with Texas.
Kansas State 14-7 SU, 5-10 ATS
The Wildcats have definitely been a huge disappointment this season. They came into this season with a lot of hype and they were overrated. When a team already has ten losses against the spread you really have to be careful about taking them. Kansas State has been very poor on the road this season going 1-4 ATS.
Kansas 19-1 SU, 8-10 ATS
The Jayhawks are a very good team but they have also been overvalued this season. They have covered just one of their last six games. They will be heavily favored on Saturday and it could be that they win this game but fail to cover the spread. Kansas is the 9th best team in the country in points per game so there is no question they will score but their defense is anything but special and they have been giving up a lot of backdoor covers this season.
This game on Saturday night will be featured on ESPN in the evening so it should get some added attention from gamblers on the college basketball odds board.
