Kansas is 9-2 against the spread in their last 11 games at Kansas State and 20-6 ATS in their last 26 overall meetings with the Wildcats. My pick for this game is with Kansas as Kansas State has been a big disappointment and it may be too late for them to get things figured out. Kansas is too good for Kansas State and will force the Wildcats to have to play a flawless game to just cover, which they won’t.
