UPDATE 11 A.M. ET SATURDAY: An hour before kickoff, Texas is laying 3.5 points at BetMGM. The Longhorns opened -5.5, fell straight to -4 Monday and went to -3.5 Friday.

Texas is taking 64% of spread bets/59% of spread money. BetMGM Nevada's Scott Shelton said K-State drew sharp action at +5.5.

"The book is going horns down this week, as we desperately need Kansas State to cover at Texas," BetMGM trader Seamus Magee said.

On the moneyline, the underdog Wildcats are taking 61% of tickets/55% of money. By ticket count, Kansas State is the most-bet moneyline 'dog in BetMGM's college football odds Week 10 market.

The total dropped from 52 to 49.5 by Wednesday, and it's now 49.5 (Over -115). Still, ticket count is 2.5/1 and money 4/1 on the Over.

UPDATE 6:30 P.M. ET THURSDAY: The SuperBook pegged Texas 5-point home chalk Sunday afternoon and moved to -4 early Monday morning. There's been no movement since.

"Good two-way on this game so far," SuperBook senior risk supervisor Casey Degnon said of spread action. "We took some sharp money on K-State +5 Monday morning. Tickets and money are about the same, a little more money on Kansas State.

"The public will have Texas. We'll end up needing Kansas State once you factor in moneyline parlays."

In other words. The SuperBook is rooting for K-State outright.

The total is down to 49.5 from a 51 opener, making a stop at 50.5 Tuesday on the way to 49.5 Wednesday.

UPDATE 3 P.M. ET MONDAY: With Oklahoma losing (see below), Texas (7-1 SU/4-4 ATS) is firmly back in the College Football Playoff odds conversation. The Longhorns thumped BYU 35-6 laying 20.5 points at home in Week 9.

Kansas State is starting to look more like the team that reached the Big 12 title game last season. The Wildcats (6-2 SU and ATS) are coming off three consecutive double-digit wins, cashing in all three contests. In Week 9, K-State pounded Houston 41-0 giving 17.5 points at home.

Texas hasn't moved off -4.5 yet at TwinSpires Sportsbook. The Longhorns are seeing 60% of early spread tickets/58% of early spread dollars.

"Minimal handle still. The public is siding with Texas so far," TwinSpires director of retail sports Zachary Lucas said.

The total is stable at 51.5, with 57% of tickets/63% of money on the Over.
