Texas will try to win back-to-back games for the first time in 2014, as it comes off a 48-45 victory over the Iowa State Cyclones as 10.5-point home favorites last Saturday, while going OVER the betting total for a second consecutive contest. The Longhorns are 6-8 SU all-time against the Wildcats, which is important to consider when making your college football predictions, as that’s their only losing mark against a Big 12 Conference opponent. Texas is 4-8 SU and 6-6 ATS as underdogs the last two-plus seasons, with the UNDER going 8-4 in that situation.
The Longhorns are 34th in the country in allowing just 346.3 yards per game, which can’t be ignored when looking over the college football betting lines, as they moved down 17 spots due to giving up 524 versus the Cyclones. Texas has combined for 24 sacks over its first seven games, with 12 players being involved in the action in that category under first-year head coach Charlie Strong. Offensively, quarterback Tyrone Swoopes is really starting to emerge as a playmaker, as he’s thrown for 1,389 yards and eight touchdowns in leading the team in the last six affairs.
Kansas State enters on a 3-0 SUATS run, as it looks to build off a 31-30 victory over the Oklahoma Sooners as seven-point road underdogs in Week 8, while going OVER the betting total of 54. The Wildcats have won five of their last six meetings with the Longhorns, as they attempt to move 4-0 to start Big 12 play for the third time in the last four campaigns under longtime head coach Bill Snyder. Kansas State is 6-1 SU and 5-1-1 ATS as favorites of 3.5 to 10 points since 2012, with the OVER going 4-3 in those seven opportunities.
The Wildcats will need another major performance from signal-caller Jake Waters, who accounted for 276 yards in last week’s upset win, with Tyler Lockett and Curry Sexton combining for 14 catches and 163 yards. Kansas State has compiled a remarkable 132-31-1 SU record when playing at Bill Snyder Family Stadium since 1990.
Sports bettors will likely back the Wildcats due to their 7-2 SU and 8-0-1 ATS mark in October the last two-plus seasons.
