Kansas is entering this game with a 3-0 record overall to start their college football season and they will be playing their 2nd home game of the season as they are 1-0 in their home games this year. They won against the Houston Cougars in their last game on the road 48-30. Jalon Daniels started that game at QB and he completed 14/23 passes for 158 yards and 3 touchdowns. Jalon Daniels also led the team in rushing with 123 yards and 2 TDs on 12 carries. Torry Locklin led the team in receiving with 60 yards and 1 TD on 1 reception. Rich Miller led the defense in that game with 7 solo tackles and 2 assisted tackles. Craig Young, Taiwan Berryhill, Jereme Robinson, and Caleb Sampson all led the defense in sacks with 1 each while Kenny Logan Jr. came away with the only interception for them in that one.

The current betting odds have Kansas listed as a 9 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Both of these teams have been playing well to start the season and they are both 3-0 entering this game. Kansas has a much better team though and have been tested in their games while Duke really hasn't been. Duke beat 3 really bad teams, shutting out Temple and beating an FCS team at home and also dominating a bad Northwestern team on the road. Kansas has already had 2 big road tests, winning in Houston and West Virginia, and now they are going to be playing their 1st home game against an FBS team and the atmosphere will be great. Kansas has had a very bad program for years where they have struggled to even win games, now with a 3-0 start they will be motivated to keep that undefeated record and play well here. Their QB is also a dual-threat beast who has been making great decisions with his throws and has been leading the charge on the ground as well. Duke will not be able to defend this Kansas offense and they will not be able to keep up with their own offense. The best way to place a bet here is on Kansas to cover the spread in this game.

Statistically, he probably didn't get off to a great start, but I think again, a very solid day." - Lance Leipold after his team’s win against Houston in their last game.
