💰 Iowa State vs. Kansas State best bet: Iowa State -12.5 (-110)
Check out all of our college basketball analysis and expert predictions this season.
Things are bleak in Manhattan, as the Wildcats will almost certainly be making changes, including possibly moving on from head coach Jerome Tang, in the offseason. In Big 12 play, Kansas State has lost seven of its eight games.
Of those seven losses, the Wildcats have lost by an average of 11 points per game. They rank 14th in conference-only offensive efficiency and 12th in conference-only defensive efficiency.
Iowa State, meanwhile, has outscored its opponent by 73 total points during this current three-game win streak. I expect a lopsided affair on Sunday.
Score prediction: Iowa State 87, Kansas State 70
🔥 Best Iowa State vs. Kansas State game prop: Iowa State Over 83.5 points (-112)
While there are no player prop markets available for this game, I like Iowa State’s team total as my favorite game prop.
The Cyclones, who are coming off a 97-67 win over Colorado, have cleared this team total in three straight games. They rank 12th in the country in adjusted offensive efficiency.
Kansas State has given up an average of 83 points per game in its seven Big 12 defeats. With this total painted 83.5 across the best sports betting sites, I’ll take FanDuel’s -112 offering.
