First look: Kansas at BYU odds and lines

Looking at Saturday’s Kansas at BYU college football odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Kansas Jayhawks (3-6, 2-4 Big 12) and No. 8 BYU Cougars (9-0, 6-0) clash in a Saturday night Big 12 game in Provo. Kickoff at LaVell Edwards Stadium is set for 10:15 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we look at Kansas vs. BYU odds from FanDuel Sportsbook’s college football odds before making our expert college football picks and predictions later in the week.

Kansas logged an impressive 45-36 Saturday win over the then-No. 17 Iowa State Cyclones. The Jayhawks delivered as 2-point home underdogs with the Over (52.5) cashing. KU went 7-for-13 on third downs and piled up 532 total yards against an ISU defense that had allowed more than 370 yards in just 1 other game this fall. RB Devin Neal ran for 116 yards with 2 TDs in becoming Kansas’ all-time leader in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns, finishing with 3,951 yards and 43 TDs — passing former KU record holder June Henley in both categories.

Brigham Young snuck by rival Utah 22-21 Saturday as QB Jake Retzlaff (219 passing yards) led two fourth-quarter scoring drives, capped by K Will Ferrin’s 44-yard field goal with 4 seconds to go. The favored-by-3 Cougars, rallied from a 21-10 deficit and remained undefeated by earning their third win by 3 points or less. The winning field goal helped the Over (41) cash, too.

First look: Oklahoma at Kansas odds and lines

Looking at Saturday’s Oklahoma at Kansas college football odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Oklahoma Sooners (7-0, 4-0 Big 12) meet the Kansas Jayhawks (5-2, 2-2) on Saturday at David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium in Lawrence, Kan. Kickoff is scheduled for noon ET (FOX). Below, we look at Oklahoma vs. Kansas odds from FanDuel Sportsbook. Also see: SportsbookWire’s college football picks and predictions.

The Sooners had a close call at home, just getting past UCF by a 31-29 score in Norman. Oklahoma didn’t come close to cashing as a 17.5-point favorite as the Under (67) came through. It marked the first time this season OU failed to cover the spread, halting a 6-0 ATS run.

The Jayhawks are coming off a bye, having 2 weeks to right the ship after a 39-32 loss at Oklahoma State. Home has been great to KU, going 4-0 straight up (SU) and 3-1 against the spread (ATS), including 3-0 ATS vs. FBS teams. The Over is on a 3-1 run for Rock Chalk.

Oklahoma is No. 6 in the US LBM Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Oklahoma at Kansas head-to-head

The Sooners have rolled up 18 consecutive wins in this series, while leading the all-time series 80-27-6. It’s sad to see, but this 114th all-time meeting might be the last for a while, with Oklahoma headed for the SEC next season.

The last win for the Jayhawks in this series was on Oct. 4, 1997, a 20-17 win in Lawrence. Kansas won 3 straight meetings in this series from 1995-97.

While OU has dominated the series of late, KU has covered 5 of the past 6 meetings, and the Jayhawks are 5-1 ATS in the past 6 home meetings with the Sooners. And for totals, the Over has cashed in 3 straight meetings in Lawrence since 2017.

First look: Oklahoma State at Kansas odds and lines

Looking at Saturday’s Oklahoma State at Kansas college football odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

The No. 18 Oklahoma State Cowboys (6-2, 3-2 Big 12) and Kansas Jayhawks (5-3, 2-3) meet Saturday at David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium in Lawrence. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET (FSA1). Below, we look at Oklahoma State vs. Kansas odds from Tipico Sportsbook; check back for all our college football picks and predictions.

The Cowboys hope their return trip to the Sunflower State is better than last weekend. Oklahoma State was stunned 48-0 at Kansas State last Saturday. It was shocking because the Cowboys offense had scored 34 or more points in each of their previous 7 games this season.

The Jayhawks have dropped 3 straight games to TCU, Oklahoma and Baylor after a 5-0 SU start, which saw Kansas pierce the top-25 rankings. The non-cover at Baylor was its first ATS loss of the season after opening 6-0-1 ATS across the first 7 outings.

First look: Kansas at Baylor odds and lines

Looking at Saturday’s Kansas at Baylor college football odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

The Kansas Jayhawks (5-2, 2-2 Big 12) head to Texas to take on the Baylor Bears (3-3, 1-2) Saturday in a conference matchup. Kickoff is scheduled for noon ET (ESPN2). Below, we look at Kansas vs. Baylor odds from Tipico Sportsbook; check back for all our college football picks and predictions.

The Jayhawks started the season 5-0 but have dropped 2 games since and fell out of the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY sports. The most recent loss was at Oklahoma 52-42 Saturday. Outside of a 14-11 home victory against Iowa State Oct. 1, Kansas has scored 35 points or more in every game. The offense ranks 18th in the country in points per game (40.1), while their defense ranks 95th, giving up 30.0 PPG. The Jayhawks will look to get back into the win column this week on the road.

Baylor also enters the week on a 2-game slide, recently falling 43-40 at West Virginia, a loss that also knocked the Bears out of the rankings. Their offense has been high-powered this season, putting up 31 points or more in all but 2 games: A 36-25 loss at then-No. 7 Oklahoma State (Oct. 1) and a 26-20 double-OT loss at BYU (Sept. 10). Scoring 37.8 PPG ranks 25th in the nation, while the defense’s 24.3 PPG allowed ranks 54th.

Kansas vs. Baylor head-to-head

This has been such a mismatch as Baylor has won the last 12 games in the series with only 2 margins of victory by less than 20 points – eight of the wins have been by at least 30 points or more.

Excluding the closest game in that span, a 31-30 Baylor victory in 2011, Kansas hasn’t scored more than 14 points, including being held to 9 points or less 7 times.

With those kinds of numbers, it’s no surprise, the matchup betting trends reflect Baylor’s dominance. Kansas is 0-6 ATS in its last 6 meetings at Baylor and is 1-11 ATS in the last 12 meetings overall. The favorite is 12-1 ATS in the last 13 matchups. Plus, the Under is 3-1-1 in the last 5 meetings at Baylor.

Although Kansas is undefeated against the spread this season at 6-0-1, it is important to note that Baylor is 20-4-2 ATS in its last 26 games following an ATS loss.

First look: Kansas at Oklahoma odds and lines

Looking at Saturday’s Kansas Jayhawks at Oklahoma Sooners college football odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

The Kansas Jayhawks (5-1, 2-1 Big 12) Travel to Norman, Okla., to battle the reeling Oklahoma Sooners (3-3, 0-3) Saturday. Kickoff is at noon ET (ESPN2). Below, we look at Kansas vs. Oklahoma odds from Tipico Sportsbook; check back for all our college football picks and predictions.

What a topsy-turvy season for Kansas, a team that’s on the verge of making its first bowl game in more than a decade. On the other side of the field, Oklahoma is riding a 3-game losing skid and is on pace to have its first non-winning season since 1998.

The Jayhawks played their minds out last week in a 38-31 loss to TCU. Had star QB Jalon Daniels not been hurt in the 1st half, they might still be undefeated. If he can play in this one, Kansas has a chance to pull off the upset.

Oklahoma is far from itself this season. Not only has coach Brent Venables’ defense not performed well, but with QB Dillon Gabriel missing last week, the Sooners were steamrolled by rival Texas 49-0 in the Red River rivalry. This was coming off their own loss to TCU 55-24 the week prior.

Kansas is No. 20 in the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Kansas vs. Oklahoma head-to-head

Except for a 2nd-half comeback by Oklahoma in Lawrence last season, the Jayhawks might have been looking at trying to build a winning streak over the Sooners here. Outside of the 12-point loss last year, Kansas has still not even come within 2 touchdowns of Oklahoma in the past 10 meetings.

Kansas has been the doormat of the Big XII for many years. With Oklahoma being the top dog, they routinely make this game non-competitive. This year could be and should be different.

With the defensive struggles mounting at Oklahoma and the Kansas offense averaging more than 35 points per game this season, this is the year for Kansas to make its move against the Sooners. Something Kansas and all the Big 12 members want to do before Oklahoma and Texas defect to the SEC no later than 2025.

Final Four first look: Villanova vs. Kansas odds and lines

Looking at Saturday’s Villanova vs. Kansas NCAA Tournament Final Four odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

The No. 2 seed Villanova Wildcats (30-7) and No. 1 seed Kansas Wildcats (32-6) will meet in a national semifinal game at the Final Four in New Orleans Saturday. Tip-off is scheduled for 6:09 p.m. ET (on TBS) from Caesars Superdome. ACC rivals Duke and North Carolina will face off later that night in the second Final Four matchup.

Below, we look at the Villanova vs. Kansas odds and lines; check back for our college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Villanova won its four NCAA tourney games by an average of 11.0 points and went a perfect 4-0 against the spread (ATS). The Wildcats won the first three as favorites before upsetting Houston 50-44 as 3-point underdogs in the Elite Eight. The Under has hit in three in a row for the ‘Cats, and in six of their past seven games – all in the postseason.

Unfortunately, Villanova suffered a huge loss when junior G Justin Moore tore his Achilles’ tendon in the final 35 seconds of their victory over Houston. Moore, who will have surgery and is done for the season, is Villanova’s second-leading scorer at 14.8 points per game. He led the team in minutes (34.6 per game), is second in assists (2.3 per game) and third in rebounds (4.8 per game).

While Villanova has run off nine consecutive wins, Kansas also brings a nine-game winning streak into Saturday’s showdown. Plus, both teams are on 4-0 ATS streaks.

Things didn’t look good for Kansas Sunday as it trailed Miami by six at halftime of its Elite Eight game, but the Jayhawks recovered and rolled to a 76-50 victory. Kansas, which covered as a 5.5-point favorite, opened the second half with 19-5 run and outscored Miami 47-15 in the second half to become the only No. 1 seed to make this Final Four.

The Miami game cashed Under tickets and the Under is 3-1 in Kansas’ four NCAA Tournament games to date. Kansas outscored its four NCAA tourney opponents by an average of 16.25 points per game. The Jayhawks are No. 3 in the Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports; the Wildcats are ranked fifth.

Villanova and Kansas have met six times since March 28, 2008, with the Wildcats winning four of the previous five meetings. Plus, Villanova has covered each of those previous five meetings, while the Under is 4-1-1 in the past six meetings.

Three of the six meetings since 2008 have been in the NCAA Tournament, too. In 2018, ‘Nova topped Kansas in the national semifinal 95-79, hitting 18 3-pointers. The Wildcats won the national title that season. The teams met in the regional final in 2016, with Villanova winning 64-59. In 2008, Kansas topped Villanova 72-57 in a Sweet 16 tilt.

Sweet 16 first look: Providence vs. Kansas odds and lines

Looking at Friday’s Providence vs. Kansas NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

The No. 4 seed Providence Friars (27-5) meet the No. 1 seed Kansas Jayhawks (30-6) in the Midwest Region for a Sweet Sixteen matchup Friday. Tip-off from United Center in Chicago is scheduled for 7:29 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Providence vs. Kansas odds and lines; check back for our college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

The Friars haven’t received much respect from the books so far, but the Big East regular-season champs have won and covered both games in the NCAA Tournament. PU topped South Dakota State 66-57 in the opener Thursday, and blasted Richmond 79-51 on Saturday. The Under has cashed in each outing.

The Jayhawks are one of just two one-seeds remaining. Kansas belted Texas Southern 83-56 Thursday before winning a tough 79-72 battle with Creighton Saturday as the Over connected.
