Kansas Jayhawks vs NC State Wolfpack Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/13/25

The Kansas Jayhawks head to the Triangle to battle NC State, and it is listed as a road underdog despite being ranked inside the Top 25. Kansas is coming off an impressive 80-60 rout of rival Missouri at T-Mobile Center in Kansas City last time out, and KU has managed victories over the likes of Tennessee, Syracuse and Notre Dame so far this season. While Kansas hasn’t had a lot of road against teams from Tobacco Road, losing 87-74 at North Carolina at the Dean Dome on Nov. 7 as a similar 2.5-point underdog, and 78-66 to Duke at Madison Square Garden on Nov. 18, back the Jayhawks to top NC State.

Will Wade’s NC State Wolfpack just crushed Liberty 85-45 last time out on Wednesday as a 12.5-point favorite, snapping an 0-3 ATS skid. Against power conference teams so far this season, NC State has proven it isn’t quite ready for primetime. It lost 83-73 at Auburn on Dec. 3 as a 6.5-point underdog, and it fell 102-97 against Texas at the Maui Invitational. The Wolfpack have won seven of 10 games so far, but the jury is still out if NC State is legitimate, or if it has just beaten up on the weaklings, while getting outclassed by actual competition. This is a measuring-stick game, and how things have unfolded to date, bet against the Wolfpack.

Kansas ML (+125) at time of publishing. Playable to +110.
