Kansas Jayhawks at Kansas State Wildcats Prediction

Kansas State played Kansas really tough at home back on January 3rd, losing by just two points. The 178 combined points scored in the earlier match scorched the 139 point closing line which has made for an over reaction by the linesmaker on the total line. Both teams connected on over 50% of their shots from the field which is unlikely to be repeated in this go around. The Kansas offenses in this role has averaged a 45.8 FG% while Kansas State has averaged 43.8 % so to think that we have a drop off this game is not a reach. Also, the defensive scoring numbers suggest a lower scoring game, with the Jayhawks scoring defense having allowed 72.2 points per game on the road while the Wildcats have held opponents as a host to 63.7 points.
