The under is 4-1 in these two teams last 5 head to head meetings.
Kansas started the season playing very well, but has lost four of their last five games and has allowed 35 points or more in four of their last five games. Kansas State is looking to clinch a berth in the Big 12 Title game and has scored 79 points in their last two games. Kansas State has a good enough defense to slow Kansas down and I think Kansas State will score 45+ points. Take the Wildcats here.
