Kansas State vs. Arizona betting preview

• Odds: Kansas State -1.5, over/under of 54

Arizona’s junior quarterback Noah Fifita has made an excellent start, having passed for 534 yards with six touchdowns without any interceptions across the first two games. Last season, he threw for 2,958 yards but had 12 interceptions, so this season’s performance shows promising improvement. Arizona is currently 2-0 against the spread.

Kansas State, despite the rocky start, had hoped for better after being considered a preseason No. 17 team nationally. With Avery Johnson returning to the lineup after a strong 2024 season, expectations were high. However, they faltered against Army. Currently, Kansas State stands at 0-3 against the spread for the season.
