Before you consider your Kansas State vs. Texas picks or college football predictions, you need to see what the SportsLine Projection Model has to say.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every FBS college football game 10,000 times. Over the past five-plus years, the proprietary computer model has generated a stunning profit of almost $3,700 for $100 players on its top-rated college football picks against the spread. It also enters Week 13 of the 2021 season on a 39-25 run on all top-rated college football side picks. Anyone who has followed it has seen HUGE returns.

The model knows Texas is coming off its sixth straight loss, a 31-23 setback at West Virginia on Saturday. Despite the defeat, the Longhorns outgained the Mountaineers 203-158 on the ground, with Keilan Robinson leading the way with 111 yards and a touchdown on nine carries. It was a breakout performance by the sophomore, who gained 194 yards on 27 attempts over his first eight outings of the season.

The model also knows Kansas State had its four-game winning streak snapped on Saturday as it suffered a 20-10 loss to Baylor. Deuce Vaughn continued his strong season, however, as he rushed 11 times for 128 yards and a touchdown. The sophomore has reached triple digits in rushing yards in four straight games and seven of 11 this year while running for at least one TD in each of his last five contests.

Now the model has simulated Texas vs. Kansas State 10,000 times, and the results are in. We can tell you that the model is leaning Over on the total, and it also says one side of the spread hits almost 60 percent of the time. You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before locking in your own picks.
