Texas vs Kansas Prediction

The current betting odds have Texas listed as a 9.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Texas just got upset in their last game against TCU and they were at home for that game but even though they were upset as a 7 point favorite, TCU is still the 4th ranked team in the country. Texas is going to be looking to bounce back in a big way after that loss at home in a very close game and Kansas hasn't really been that great this year. Kansas got off to a great start this season where they were 5-0 through 5 games but then they hit a snag in their conference play and just managed to get their 6th win and become bowl eligible just a few weeks ago. Kansas has also been playing with their backup QB over the last few games and they haven't been that great, their offense is still moving the ball well but their defense give up a lot of points and Texas will be angry here looking to bounce back with a lot of offense after being held to 10 points last week at home. The best way to place a bet here is on Texas to cover the spread in this game.
 
Texas Kansas Prediction:  Our NCAAF Pick for Saturday, November 19, 2022 (3:30 pm ET start time) is Texas 41 Kansas 24.
