Kansas State is the home favorite after two dominant results. Tulane has one good win and one bad loss, so the market is discounting the Green Wave more than their record alone would suggest. Check your book before kickoff.

How Both Teams Got Here
Kansas State is 2-0 and has not been close to threatened: 71-3 over Nicholls and 34-7 over Washington State. That second win came against a Power Four opponent, which gives it some weight.
Tulane is 1-1. The Green Wave were held to three points in a 17-3 loss at Duke in the opener, then beat South Alabama 28-24 in a game that came down to the wire.
What to Watch
Tulane’s offense. Three points against Duke and 28 against a Sun Belt team is a thin body of work, and Kansas State’s defense has allowed ten points across two games. The Green Wave need to prove the Duke performance was the outlier.
The kickoff time helps Kansas State. An 11 a.m. local start in Manhattan is routine for the Wildcats and awkward for a visitor traveling from New Orleans. If Kansas State scores early, this follows the pattern of its first two games.
