The current betting odds have Kansas listed as a 7 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Both of these teams are off to hot undefeated starts with Kansas playing 1 more game than TCU. TCU already has 2 big wins on the road too so they have been road tested and will be ready for this game. Kansas has also been road tested though as they have beat some pretty good teams on the road this year, and now they get the home advantage for this conference matchup. Kansas has been finding ways to win their games whether it be with a great defensive effort like in their last game, or by blowing out their opponent with a ton offense like in most of their games this year. Kansas has had a terrible program for years but have really turned things around now, and they are going to be striving for the best season in years. TCU is also doing great under their new head coach but they just pulled off a huge emotional win over Oklahoma last week and this could be a let down spot here on the road. Kansas has a good enough team to win this game with the way they have been playing lately and they are getting a touchdown on their own field here. The best way to place a bet here is on Kansas to cover the spread in this game.

"Had a bunch of big plays on offense. That's the formula for us right now is if we can make big plays and take care of the ball, then good things are going to happen for us." - Sonny Dykes after his team’s win against Oklahoma in their last game.

 

 

"This feels different because of what this group has been though. We've only been here 16 months and focusing on how we can improve, but I'm so happy for them because we can see what it does in the community, the stands, togetherness and these are great things to build upon." - Lance Leipold after his team’s win against ISU in their last game.
