Money line (ML)
Texas (-1200) is way too heavy of a favorite. If you lay that kind of number, you are way more adventurous than I'll ever be. AVOID, and look to the spread.

Against the spread (ATS)
TEXAS -13.5 (-110) is worth a small-unit play as a visit to Kansas State should be the elixir to cure the Longhorns' recent ills. However, they haven't covered in five straight outings, so don't get too carried away. Texas is still 4-1 ATS in the past five road outings, and K-State is 8-22 ATS in its past 30 at home. In addition, the road team is 9-2 ATS across the past 11 in this series.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 134.5 (-110) has been the rule in Texas games lately, win or lose. The Longhorns have hit the Over in eight of the past nine, and the Over is 5-0 in their past five against teams with a winning percentage of .400 or lower. The Over is also 9-3 in the past 12 for Kansas State at home against road teams with a winning percentage of .600 or higher. K-State allows 73.8 points per game. The Longhorns will be able to flirt with 80 in this one.
