Tulane Green Wave vs Kansas State Wildcats Predictions

Availability matters at this spread

Kansas State needs to win by at least 21 points to cover SPF’s -20.5 against Tulane. Sports betting publication Covers lists Wildcats quarterbacks B. Barnett and D. Duff as questionable. Those listings don’t establish who will start, leaving a basic question unanswered before backing such a large margin.

Covers also lists Kansas State receivers I. Koch and M. Lovett and tight end A. Morrell as questionable, with offensive guard J. Pastore out for the season because of a leg injury. Their roles and replacements aren’t established, so the effect on Kansas State’s scoring is unclear.

Tulane has an availability concern of its own: running back Jamauri McClure is questionable with a foot injury. Kansas State’s injury list alone doesn’t establish value on Tulane +20.5 or its +900 moneyline.

Betting call: Pass

The total is 49.5, with the over priced at -112 and the under at -108. Without verified scoring or pace figures, the injury report doesn’t provide a sound basis for either side. Pass on the total and spread; no score prediction is warranted.
