Prop Bets: Kansas State Wildcats VS Kansas Jayhawks 2025-10-25
"The Sunflower Showdown: A Blooming Bloodbath (Or Why Your Couch Needs a Cushion)"
Ladies and gentlemen, prepare for the 123rd edition of Kansas vs. Kansas State—a rivalry so bitter, even the sunflowers in the stands are plotting revenge. Let’s break this down with the precision of a QB reading a defense:
The Numbers You Need to Know
- Kansas (4-3, 2-2 Big 12): Jalon Daniels is a magician with a football, averaging 414.3 total yards per game (263.3 passing) and a recent 3-TD performance. But their defense? A sieve. They’ve allowed 394.3 yards per game—perfect for Kansas State’s Avery Johnson, who’s fresh off a 376-yard, 3-TD explosion against TCU.
- Kansas State (3-4, 2-2 Big 12): Their run game, led by Joe Jackson’s 110-yard, 2-TD heroics, could exploit Kansas’s leaky D. But can they stop Daniels? History says no—Kansas hasn’t beaten K-State since 2009.
Odds Breakdown
- Moneyline: Kansas is a slight favorite at -150 (implied probability: 60%) on DraftKings/FanDuel. Kansas State? A +3.15 to +3.20 underdog (implied: 23.8%-24.4%).
- Spread: Kansas is favored by -3.5 to -7.5, depending on the book. Take the Wildcats +7.5 for a cheap thrill (odds: -110 to -115).
- Total: The Over/Under hovers between 55.0 and 58.5. With both teams’ offenses firing and Kansas’s D as porous as a sieve, take the Over 56.5 (implied 50% chance).
Player Props to Bet Your Socks Off
- Jalon Daniels: Will he throw for >247.5 yards? He did it last week—bet him again.
- Avery Johnson: Can he rush for >50 yards? His dual-threat magic vs. TCU says yes.
- Joe Jackson: Over/Under 100 rushing yards? The line’s at 105.5—take the Over.
Prediction
Kansas will win this one, but not cleanly. Daniels will torch the KSU secondary for 300+ yards and 3 TDs, but Johnson and Jackson will keep the Wildcats relevant. The final score? Kansas 35, Kansas State 32—a 7-point cover for the Jayhawks, but a defensive coordinator’s funeral for Kansas’s D.
Final Tip: If you’re betting the Over, bring a blanket—this game’s going to get messy. And if Kansas loses? Blame it on the 16-year curse. They always do.
Stream it on Sling/HBO Max (if your region allows it) or SiriusXM (channels 198/380). Either way, prepare for a headache. 🏈
