I make the total here 58.5. Kansas State’s offense is rolling right now. The Wildcats are averaging 39.3 points during their current three-game winning streak. Kansas State has been particularly tough to stop at home this year, averaging 38 points and winning their three games at Bill Snyder Family Stadium by a combined score of 114-33. The Jayhawks are limping into this matchup at 2-5. The problem for Kansas hasn’t been on the offensive side of the ball though. The Jayhawks have lost three games this season where they scored at least 27 points. Kansas State will have success against a Jayhawks defense allowing 384 yards (73rd) and 27.5 points (78th) per game. Look for this game to be played in the 60s or 70s.

The Sunflower State Showdown should be packed with points thanks to a Kansas offense that has found its footing over the last couple of weeks and a Kansas State offense that remains one of the best in the Big 12. Plus in terms of trends both teams have been good over teams in conference play, with the total going over in the last four Kansas games and the last three Kansas State games.
