Kansas State Wildcats

The Wildcats covered once in seven games as favorites in 2025 and four times in five as underdogs. Kansas State football odds ran the opposite way to the price.

Favored, and short

Kansas State went 6-6 and 5-7 against the spread. As favorites: seven games, four wins, one cover. Eleven FBS teams covered less often as favorites; one matched. The only cover was 34-20 over UCF at -5.5.

Three favorite games were lost outright: 21-24 to Iowa State in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic at -140, 21-24 to Army at -800 as a 16.5-point favorite, and 17-23 at Arizona at -115. Three more were won short of big lines: 38-35 over North Dakota at -27.5, 14-6 at Oklahoma State at -19.5 and 24-14 over Colorado at -16.5. The six favorite games with a moneyline lost 2.47 units; only nine FBS teams lost more on that side.

Getting points

Five games as underdogs, four covers. October was the stretch: 41-28 over TCU at +120, 42-17 at Kansas at +140, and a 34-35 loss at Baylor that still beat a 4.5-point line. In November the Wildcats lost 47-51 at Utah getting 18.5, another cover. Two wins in five underdog games still left that moneyline 0.4 units down.

The moneyline

Eleven of 12 games had one; Colorado did not. One unit on Kansas State in each lost 2.87.

The total

Over: seven times in 12, with 22 FBS teams seeing it more often. The Wildcats scored 29.42 points a game and allowed 26.67.
