CLICK HERE FOR THE BEST NCAA FOOTBALL WEEK 8 GAMBLING PICKS!! —–><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Kansas: 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against Kansas State While the records of Kansas Jayhawks and Kansas State Wildcats look very similar, don\u2019t let them fool you: One team is going in one direction, the other in a drastically different one.<\/p>\n For Kansas, expectations to begin the season were sky-high with many thinking that the Jayhawks were the favorites in the Big XII North. Well not only have those expectations been tempered, Kansas may need help just to reach their third straight bowl game.<\/p>\n After starting off the year 5-0 the wheels have come off for the Jayhawks, with three straight defeats. In those games, the defense has been exposed, as being soft\u2026to put it nicely. Kansas has given up 37 points per game in those losses, all in conference play. They are currently 100th in college football allowing 247 passing yards per game, as well as 71st overall in scoring defense at 25 points per game.<\/p>\n Also, the Jayhawks have literally added insult to injury, as quarterback Todd Reesing had to leave last week\u2019s loss against Texas Tech. It is uncertain if Reesing will be able to go on Saturday, meaning that either Kale Pick- who has never attempted more than two passes in any college game- or wide receiver and former quarterback Kerry Meier could get the start under center.<\/p>\n As for the Kansas State Wildcats, they are experiencing a midseason renaissance under former, retired and current coach Bill Snyder.<\/p>\n For those of you wondering, yes that\u2019s the same Snyder who led the Wildcats program for close to 20 years and retired earlier this decade after several Big XII North Championships. However, he is back on campus, and the team hasn\u2019t looked this sharp in years.<\/p>\n Just last week, the Wildcats hung with the Oklahoma Sooners in Norman, falling 42-30. It is important to note though, that after the first quarter, Kansas State actually outscored the Sooners 30-21.<\/p>\n This offense has come alive under quarterback Grant Gregory, especially in the last few weeks. Against Oklahoma\u2019s stingy passing defense, he threw for 174 yards, which is actually more than Texas quarterback Colt McCoy threw for a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t let the records or the numbers fool you, Snyder has Kansas State back. They are getting 3 \u00bd points on the road, and with Reesing less than 100 percent the Wildcats are the team to pick. Take them and don\u2019t look back in this week\u2019s College Football Betting Odds.<\/p>\n
