For the first time in seven games, the ÃÛÁÄÖ±²¥ ÃÛÁÄÖ±²¥ will play a football game as underdogs.
The 14th-ranked Kansas State ÃÛÁÄÖ±²¥ are 7.5-point favorites to beat No. 20 ÃÛÁÄÖ±²¥ in Manhattan, Kansas on Friday, according to Draft Kings, FanDuel and ESPN Bet. The over/under is set at 56.5 points, per Action Network.Â
Despite the matchup between two Big 12 opponents, the ÃÛÁÄÖ±²¥-Kansas State contest is a nonconference game due to the home-and-home series being scheduled in 2016. Â
ÃÛÁÄÖ±²¥ and Kansas State are meeting for the first time since 1978. The UA is 5-1-1 all-time against KSU. ÃÛÁÄÖ±²¥ lost to Kansas State in 1969 and tied KSU in 1953.Â
Both teams enter Friday evening's contest with unbeaten records. ÃÛÁÄÖ±²¥, which is 0-2 against the spread this season, is coming off wins against New Mexico and Northern ÃÛÁÄÖ±²¥. Kansas State routed UT Martin 41-6 before escaping New Orleans with a 34-27 win over Tulane.
