The pros at FiveStarPick.com are looking forward to tonight’s Top 25 matchup between the Kansas Jayhawks and the Kansas State Wildcats.  Las Vegas sportsbooks list Kansas as 3.5-point road favorites.  The last time Kansas St. was in this situation, it knocked off then number one Texas, so the Wildcats will be looking to make it two straight home wins over top five teams this season.  Big wins like the one over Texas usually lead to big letdown games.  It was no different for Kansas State as they then suffered a home loss against Oklahoma St., but they came back and defeated the 24th ranked Baylor Bears on Tuesday by two.

The Jayhawks have won 25 of the last 26 games played in Manhattan and this is arguably one of the best Kansas teams ever to step foot in the Wildcat Arena. Kansas won its first rivalry game this week as it easily took out Missouri on Monday night to extend its home court winning streak to a national best 54 games. This will be the first quality road opponent since its first and only loss of the season at Tennessee three weeks ago. A victory here likely puts the Jayhawks back into the number one spot in the polls. Balance and depth have been the catalyst for Kansas through 20 games, nine different players have led the team in steals, seven in points and six in assists. The Jayhawks rank in the top three in all but three Big XII statistical categories.

The Wildcats are an attacking team that averages 15.8 offensive rebounds per game and they go to the free throw line 33.8 times per game (#1 in the nation). The Jayhawks meanwhile are sixth in the nation in rebounding margin and they allow only 19.2 free throw attempts by the opposition per game. Kansas also has a huge edge in assist/turnover ratio, 1.47 to 0.97.  Something’s gotta give tonight and FiveStarPick.com has the answer.

FiveStarPick.com has handicapped tonight’s matchup between the Kansas State Wildcats and the Louisville Cardinals and we feel strongly about advising our members to bet on the total.  Vegas sportsbooks have listed the Wildcats as 4-point favorites with the total set at 56.  The action will start on ESPN 2 tonight at 8pm.

Kansas State (2-0 SU, 1-0 ATS) blew out Montana State 69-10 and North Texas 45-6.  In addition, Kansas State has had 11 days to prepare for Louisville (1-1 SU, 0-1 ATS.)  K-State’s QB, Josh Freeman, has looked very poised in his two wins. His 209.3 pass efficiency rating ­is the best of any QB in the Big 12. Freeman will have to establish the running game with Keithen Valentine tonight if he wants to continue to post rediculous numbers in the passing game.  Having said all of that, turnovers will be the key in tonights game.  The Wildcats produced 4 turnovers against Montana State, including a fumble return for a touchdown.

The Lousiville Cardinals are rebuilding.  After a terrible loss to rival Kentucky to start the season, the Cardinals came back strong with a 51-10 rout of Tennessee Tech last week. Louisville knows that Kansas State will be a much tougher test on both sides of the ball.  Louisville also knows that turnovers will be the key to their chance to win.  The Cards turned the ball over 5 times against Kentucky in their opening game loss.  QB Hunter Cantwell went 15-23 for 203 yards and 2 TDs for the Cards last week.  Running Back Victor Anderson needs a big game tonight. He carried 12 times for 114 yards and one TD last week.
