Texas is coming off a 27-6 thumping of Iowa State last week and is now 3-3 on the season. The Longhorns also covered as a 17-point favorite in that win and have now covered in back-to-back games. Despite being .500 straight up, the Longhorns have actually been a decent play at the betting window this year, covering in four of their six games. The over has also cashed in four of Texas’ six contests.
While the Longhorns are coming off a victory the Wildcats lost last week 38-17 to Oklahoma in Norman. That loss gave them three on the year and now they’re 3-3 straight up and just 2-4 against the spread after they failed to cover as a 13.5-point underdog. In fact, Kansas State has now failed to cover in back-to-back games, as the Wildcats also lost at the betting window as a 9.5-point favorite in a 44-38 win over Texas Tech two weeks ago.
