Kansas State Wildcats CFB Week 13 Betting Lines
The Kansas State Wildcats was a co-favorite with the Utah Utes in the preseason future markets to win the Big 12 Conference championship. While Utah has imploded, the Wildcats have been solid, although not as good as advertised. Last week against the Arizona State Sun Devils, Kansas State fell far behind early in a miserable flop and ran out of time thanks to their errors. This week brings the Senior Day home finale against the Cincinnati Bearcats. Cincinnati is failing to gain traction and needs one more win for a bowl bid.

Kansas State has a record of 7-3 straight up, 3-7 against the spread, and 4-6 over/under the total. K-State ranks 43rd for total offense, 77th for passing, 18th for rushing and 55th for scoring.

Sam Leavitt threw for 275 yards and three touchdowns, Jordyn Tyson had 12 catches for 176 yards and two of the scores, and Arizona State held off No. 20 Kansas State on Saturday night in the Sun Devils' first trip to their new Big 12 rival.
Cam Skattebo returned from an injury to run for 73 yards, and the Sun Devils built a 21-0 halftime lead before Kenny Dillingham's team held on for a third straight win to remain in contention for the Big 12 championship game.
Avery Johnson threw for 258 yards with two interceptions and a touchdown run for Kansas State, which had been 4-0 at home this season and 15-3 over the past three. D.J. Giddens ran for 133 yards, and Joe Jackson had a TD run.
“I told the guys, “I'm going to take ownership of this on my own,'” Kansas State coach Chris Klieman said. ” The whole program is on me. I didn't do a good enough job with the game plan. I didn't do a good enough job with the players."
The bumbling Wildcats, who turned the ball over three times and failed to get the snap down on two field-goal tries, sure didn't look like a conference title contender that had last week off to prepare for the Sun Devils.
Johnson was picked off on the second play of the game, and Arizona State marched 49 yards, with Leavitt hitting Tyson for the touchdown. On the next series, Dylan Edwards and Giddens were stuffed on consecutive carries, giving the Sun Devils the ball back on downs. And on the Wildcats' third series, Jayce Brown fumbled the ball away after a catch.

In November 1988, the Kansas State Wildcats finished their second consecutive winless season. Sports Illustrated labeled Kansas State as the worst program in college football. Many observers said the program should be shut down. There was no hope for a program with the worst record in college football history. Following that lost season, K-State threw a Hail Mary. The Wildcats hired Iowa offensive coordinator Bill Snyder to save the program. Not only did Snyder save the K-State football program, but he also built a sustained national power.
Bill Snyder pulled off the Manhattan Miracle with tireless work and a relentless demand for perfection. Snyder did the impossible. In fact, he did so well that the famed Oklahoma Sooners Hall of Fame coach Barry Switzer called him “The Coach of the Century.”
Chris Klieman has continued the success of Snyder. Klieman posted four bowl berths in his first five seasons. Most important of all, Klieman led the Wildcats to the 2022 Big 12 championship.
