Kansas State Wildcats vs Kansas Jayhawks Betting Preview
The Kansas State Wildcats head into Week 12 with a chance at getting to the Big 12 title game. The Texas Longhorns lead with one loss, while the Wildcats are one of four teams with two losses. These final two weeks will decide who the Longhorns will be facing in the conference title game. The Wildcats lost to TCU in the game a season ago.
In the recent win for the Wildcats, quarterback Will Howard was solid, as he set the all-time passing record in Kansas State history. The quarterback has been all season, with more than 2,100 yards and 21 touchdowns. Phillip Brooks has been his top target with more than 555 yards and five touchdowns.
DJ Giddens needs 141 rushing yards to get to 1,000 on the season. The running back has rushed 143 times and has 7 touchdowns. Kansas State will play in this rivalry game, and then host the Iowa State Cyclones in another huge game next week. The Kansas State Wildcats injury report is not as extensive as the Jayhawks, giving them an advantage here.
Lance Leipold and the Kansas Jayhawks were obviously disappointed with the result of their trip to Texas Tech last week. The Jayhawks did not score until the fourth quarter when they tied it with 13 straight points. The Red Raiders kicked a game-winning field goal to upset the Jayhawks.
Kansas lost Jason Bean in that game and called upon third-string quarterback Cole Ballard in the game. He struggled, going just 9 for 20 in the game. Bean was in for the injured Jalon Daniels, who completed just 56 passes before going down to injury.
The key to the Kansas offense will be Devin Neal. The running back needs 35 yards to reach 1,000 on the season and has 10 touchdowns. Daniel Hishaw Jr is getting chances as well and has 8 rushing touchdowns. Kansas will finish the regular season on the road at Cincinnati next week. The Kansas Jayhawks roster has had to be challenged all season with numerous injuries throughout the season.
Kansas State Wildcats vs Kansas Jayhawks Betting Picks
After looking at the NCAAF odds – here are our betting picks:
This would be a really good game if both teams had their starting quarterbacks and all their healthy bodies. This will still be a good game. The Jayhawks, despite who plays at quarterback, will take care of the football, and give the ball to Neal early and often.
Kansas State will pass more but also use Giddens to march them down the field. Kansas State wins this game, but the Jayhawks keep it close and make them sweat. Take the Kansas Jayhawks +8 over the Kansas State Wildcats on Saturday! Good luck with all your College Football predictions for the games on the Week 12 NCAAF Schedule!
