Tulane at Kansas State Prediction: A Wildcats Pick, but No Wager

Analysis updated September 19, 2026 at 5:20 AM CDT

Tulane's first two results don't establish how it will handle a 20.5-point spread in Manhattan.

Tulane's results leave the margin unresolved

Tulane scored just three points in its opening loss at Duke, then beat South Alabama 28-24. Bring On The Cats, a Kansas State sports publication, reports those results. The rebound alone doesn't show whether Tulane can stay within SPF's 20.5-point spread against Kansas State.

Bring On The Cats lists the Wildcats at 2-0 and Tulane at 1-1 entering the game at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. Kansas State is the straight-up pick, with low confidence: its home field and unbeaten start offer a limited basis for choosing a winner, without team statistics or confirmed starter information to establish a specific matchup advantage.

Betting view

SPF lists Kansas State at -1450 and Tulane at +850. The Wildcats' price requires a win probability above roughly 93.5% to break even. The available results don't justify that estimate, and the missing matchup detail doesn't make Tulane a value bet either. Pass on the moneyline and spread.

The total is 49.5, with over -112 and under -108. Tulane's games finished with 20 and 52 combined points, but those two results provide too little basis for projecting this matchup without Kansas State's scoring and defensive production. Pass on the total.
