🐾 Kansas State -3 (-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Fading Matt Campbell’s Iowa State team in what is projected to be a one-score game may seem like blasphemy, considering the Cyclones went 5-1 in one-possession games last season and are 7-2 in their last nine overall. But that is also the sort of thing that regresses to the mean, just like how Iowa State was 1-11 in one-score games from 2021 to early 2023.
Early in the season I tend to give the nod to teams with more returning production, and here that edge goes to the Wildcats.
Kansas State lost its last two regular-season finales to Iowa State, but I expect a different result with this being the season opener, especially since the Wildcats won seven of their first eight games last year.

💰 Best Iowa State vs. Kansas State player prop bet
⬇️ Rocco Becht Under 229.5 passing yards ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Rocco Becht enters his third year as Cyclones starting quarterback, but I am backing the Under on his passing yards primarily because of the weapons Iowa State’s offense lost.
The Cyclones were among the top 35 of all FBS teams in EPA per pass, but their top two wide receivers, Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel, are gone after combining for 167 catches and 2,377 yards. That leaves Carson Brown as the team’s leading returning wide receiver, and he had just 11 catches last year.
I look for Iowa State to lean on its running game while getting its perimeter players more up to speed.

❓Iowa State vs. Kansas State FAQs
Who is the favorite to win Iowa State vs. Kansas State?
Kansas State is favored by 3 points at our top sports betting sites against Iowa State.
How do college football spread odds work?
When betting on college football, the favorite needs to win by a certain number of points to cover the "point spread" - also known as the betting line. Conversely, the underdog needs to lose by fewer than the points displayed in the spread or win outright to cash. For example, a 3-point favorite would need to win by more than a field goal to reward bettors.
How do college football moneyline odds work?
When betting on college football, the underdog will have the "longer" odds and is typically priced at "plus-money" odds that indicate the profit on a $100 bet. For example, a team with +150 odds would turn a $100 bet into a $150 profit - or a $10 bet into a $15 profit - according to our odds converter.
