They are 4-0 in their home games, 1-2 in their road games, and they are also 0-0 in their neutral site games this season, but they will be at home for this game.

Devin Neal led the team in rushing yards with 66. Mason Fairchild led the receivers with 95 receiving yards on 5 receptions and 2 TDs.

The current betting odds have Kansas listed as a 10 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Kansas has been good this season with their 5-2 record overall but they are only 2-2 in their conference games as they have losses to Texas and Oklahoma State. They are missing their starting QB Jalon Daniels but Jason Bean is a solid replacement and already has a win under his belt at home against UCF. They did lose their last game against OK State but that was also on the road and now they are coming off their bye week so they will be ready for this home game against the team to beat in the Big 12 right now. Oklahoma has looked really good this season with their 7-0 record overall and their 4-0 conference record but they are coming off a really close 2 point win over UCF at home and that game was their 1st out of their bye week. Oklahoma didn't look great in that game on defense and Kansas has a really good offense even with Bean under center to really challenge OU here. Oklahoma has also struggled to put up points at times and they are not going to have an easy time here against a good Kansas team that plays well at home. The best way to place a bet here is on Kansas to cover the spread in this game.

“We were fortunate to win the game. We made enough mistakes today to lose.” - Brent Venables after his team’s win against UCF in their last game. 

“He struggled a little bit there late in the fourth, obviously. But before that, I thought he played outstanding. I thought he made some really nice throws and created some things with his feet. But there’s some plays I wish we all had back.” - Lance Leipold after his team’s loss against OK State in their last game.
