No. 3 Texas is the 16.5-point favorite over No. 24 Kansas

Are you buying the three-score blowout against the undefeated Jayhawks?

The No. 3 Texas Longhorns are 16.5-point favorites over No. 24 Kansas in Week 5, according to BetMGM. Are you buying the three-score blowout against the undefeated Jayhawks?

Kansas head coach Lance Leipold has turned the program around in Kansas, and in 2022 delivered their best season since 2008. It seemingly all started with a major upset against Texas in 2021, but according to Leipold that’s now old news.

Neither Sarkisian or Leipold want to talk about a game that happened two years ago, which ironically changed both programs for the better.

Texas and Kansas are both undefeated heading into Week 5 and this will be the toughest conference matchup for both teams thus far.

Kansas, like Texas, has scored 30+ points in every game this year. Their high-powered offense will meet Texas’ stifling defense to see which breaks first.

Will the Texas defense stop a Kansas offense that has lit up the scoreboard every week? Can Texas’ surplus of weapons on offense outlast the weak Kansas defense? Kickoff is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. CT on Saturday in Austin.
