How to Watch: Kansas at K-State
The bad thing about long winning streaks is that they might end.
Twice in the last three years, the streak appeared to be in jeopardy. Last season, it wasn't even close. Today, K-State will try and extend their winning streak over Kansas to "voting age".
The Kansas State Wildcats (3-2, 0-2 Big 12) host the Kansas Jayhawks (2-3, 0-2 Big 12).
Kansas leads the all-time series 64-54-5, although officially it's 63-55-5 because of cheating. Kansas has decided that the Big 8 ruling declaring their 1980 win a forfeit doesn't matter anymore since there's no Big 8 anymore. Go figure.
But it's been 17 in a row for the Cats since a three-game KU winning streak in the late 00s. Obviously there's a lot at stake today, not least the opportunity to avoid an 0-3 start in conference play. It's a big game.
Kansas hasn't really been competitive against opponents with pulses, but K-State hasn't really either so there's another reason for trepidation.
Saturday, October 17, 11:00am CT at Bill Snyder Family Stadium (50,000) in Manhattan, Kansas.
The game is officially a sellout, with standing-room only tickets avaliable from the ticket office. Via third-party outlets, you're not getting in the door for under $78 at this writing, and the median price is $122.
The good news: the sun will be out, and game-time temps will start in the low 50s anr rise to nearly 60 by game's end. The bad news? It'll probably be under 40° when you start your tailgate. Bundle up.
Per our friends at DraftKings K-State is a 3.5-point favorite with a 55.5 over. That should translate to a 30-26 K-State win. The money line is -175 for the Cats, +145 for the Jayhawks.
