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.

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).

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.
