First Road Test Awaits Kansas State

The Kansas State Wildcats had an easy time with their first opponent of the college football season, defeating Tennessee Martin 41-6. Against that FCS opponent, K-State was stellar defensively, allowing just 149 yards of total offense to the Skyhawks. This week, defense could be tougher to come by for the Wildcats as they hit the road for the first time this season to take on a Tulane team that has the potential to light up the scoreboard when everything is clicking.

The only real negative from Kansas State's performance against UT Martin in their season opener was the turnover battle. Kansas State turned the ball over twice while UT Martin did not turn the ball over at all. A similar disadvantage in the turnover department against Tulane could really hurt the Wildcats and their chances of getting a win to move to 2-0 on the season.

Tulane Searching For 2-0 Home Start

The Tulane Green Wave also played an FCS opponent to start their season, getting a 52-0 shutout win over Southeastern Louisiana. The Green Wave scored 14 or more points in each of the final three quarters of that contest, running away with things in the first half and never looking back. Here, Tulane will look for a second straight home win to kick off their season as they look to avoid another slip against a power conference opponent.

Last year, Tulane had a great chance to beat Ole Miss at home, who ended up being an elite team across all of college football. But a late turnover prevented them from doing that and the Green Wave will know that they have to be careful with the football to maximize their chances of picking up a home win over a power conference opponent this time around.

Kansas State vs Tulane Best Bet

We are going to take the points with the home team in this Kansas State vs Tulane matchup from New Orleans. We expect big things from Kansas State this season but the Green Wave are no joke at home and they should be able to keep this game within a possession, while they certainly have a chance to win the game outright as well.
