Why Kansas State can cover
Kansas State is riding a huge wave of momentum coming into this game after blowing out Oklahoma State in a 48-0 final last week. The Wildcats made history with that performance, as it was the largest shutout ever over a top-10 team by a team lower in the rankings. They were without starting quarterback Adrian Martinez due to a lower body injury, but he could return for this contest. Oklahoma State was tied for third in the FBS in points per game heading into that matchup, so the Wildcats will be confident against Texas.
The Longhorns had last week off after getting knocked off by the same Oklahoma State team that Kansas State destroyed. They have struggled to meet expectations in recent years at Kansas State, covering the spread just once in their last nine visits. Kansas State has covered the spread at a 6-2-1 clip in its last nine games overall, while Texas has failed to cover in five straight road games.
Why Texas can cover
Kansas State may never play as well as it did against Oklahoma State again, and it might be feeling overconfident heading into this matchup. Meanwhile, the Longhorns have had time to reset after having last week off. They still have a great shot at competing for the Big 12 title game, giving them plenty of motivation heading into this game.
Texas was dominant in its last trip to Kansas State, rolling to a 69-31 win against the Wildcats in 2020. Running back Bijan Robinson is among the nation's leaders with 920 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns, breaking the 100-yard mark in six straight games. He has racked up at least 130 rushing yards in each of his last three games, allowing Texas to control the tempo of those outings. The Longhorns have won five straight games against Kansas State and have covered the spread in six of their last nine games this season.
