Of the two big Kansas schools, the Wildcats of Kansas State are expected to have a decent season as they are favored at -175 to win OVER 6.5 regular season games compared to the Kansas Jayhawks being given a total of 2.5 regular season wins.

Last year's Kansas State team walked away with 7 wins and went 6-5-1 Against The Spread.

Speaking at MediaDays earlier in July, Wildcats head coach Chris Klieman spoke glowingly of his quarterback, Adrian Martinez.

“Well, the thing that drew us to him was the amount of games he has played at Nebraska. If you get around Adrian or you visit with Adrian, the first thing that jumps out at me is his maturity and what a grounded individual he is. I've been so impressed with him as a person, as a man of faith, as somebody that came in and missed all the spring because of an injury he had.

"He practiced the last two practices, but just watching him bond with the players, watching him build relationships during the time when he couldn't be out front leading after a workout or after a practice, and now to see him going through the summer where he is cleared and healthy and watching him just kinda command the room, he's a tremendously mature individual that brings out the best in everybody. That's what excites me about him. But what drew us to him was obviously his games played and his maturity.”

What to Know Before You Bet Kansas State Wildcats Futures

  • Four of the first five games are at home, but that one road game is the Big 12 opener at Oklahoma.
  • The conference season starts out with three road games in four dates.
  • Some pundits claim Missouri will test Kansas St. but Gambling911.com has the Wildcats at -12 at home based on last season's power ratings, so even with any adjustments, Kansas State should still win this one easily.
  • Depending on how well the Wildcats play early on, they are likely to be a decent sized dog versus Iowa State on the road on October 8.
  • Based on last year's team power ratings, Gambling911.com has Kansas State as a -6 point or greater road favorite at TCU on October 22.
  • There is also a mid-November back-to-back set of games at Baylor and West Virginia that could prove to be brutal.
  • This season Kansas St. has a chance to shine as Oklahoma is widely seen as being in a reboot, despite their relatively short odds of winning the College Football Playoffs Championship (50-1).
  • Kansas State hasn't won a Big 12 Championship outright since 2003.
  • Last year, the Wildcats finished ninth in a ten team league averaging 362 yards per game.
  • The backs should be solid this season with Deuce Vaughncoming off a 1,404-yard, 18-touchdown season.
  • QB Adrian Martinez threw for close to 8,500 yards and ran for over 2,300 with 35 scores in four years for Nebraska.
  • A winnable base of games would include South Dakota, Missouri, Tulane, Texas Tech, at TCU, and Kansas.  One upset win, perhaps against Iowa State or West Virginia (Kansas State we have as a -2 road favorite early there based on last year's team power ratings), gets us the OVER 6.5.
