Kansas State vs. Texas betting prediction
The Kansas State Wildcats and Texas Longhorns have both struggled as of late, as both teams are just 5-7 in Big 12 play. While the Longhorns have been a middle-of-the-pack team on both sides of the ball, the Wildcats have struggled tremendously on the offensive end after losing Markquis Nowell and Keyontae Johnson from last year's roster, which reached the Elite Eight.
Although Texas should win this one outright, Kansas State should be able to keep things close. Look for them to lose by no more than eight points.
Pick: Kansas State Wildcats +9.0 (-110)
