College football fans should be excited for this Saturday as the Kansas Jayhawks will be taking on the Baylor Bears for what should be one of the best games of the entire weekend.
Kansas is going to be coming into this game after being a top-25 opponent, but failing to win their last game and dropping out of the rankings.
Quite frankly, it’s somewhat disrespectful that Kansas is still not ranked after the season that they have had so far.
Baylor has also been an above-average team, so you’re going to have to continue reading to get our Kansas vs Baylor State picks if you want to know who we will be betting on for this game.
Kansas vs. Baylor Information
Kansas and Baylor are two of the most storied college football franchises in the Big 12. Both of them have played exceptionally well throughout the past few years, including Kansas, which is now showing that they can beat anybody in the country this season.
Baylor has certainly been a much better program in the past few years, but Kansas is on the uprise, and it’s an exciting time in Lawrence.
Last Game Record
When thinking about both Kansas and Baylor, the first thing that is going to come to mind here is that both of them are incredible on the offensive side of the football.
Kansas has a legitimate argument to be made as being the top offensive team in the entire country, and it doesn’t look like it’s going to change anytime soon.
Baylor has also been impressive on that side of the football this season, despite maybe not being as great as Kansas is on that side of the ball.
This game is going to be interesting, and that’s because we’re going to see plenty of offense. The NCAAF picks in this game are reflecting some of the most recent outings from these opponents, as the over is going to be slotted at 58.5. Both teams, however, will be coming into this one off of a loss.
Kansas vs. Baylor Analysis
Whenever the sportsbooks are going to give us an over at that high, it’s easy to see why their play is affecting the college football odds. Both of these teams have simply been incredible on offense, but both will be coming into this one after a loss.
Baylor blew a lead against the West Virginia Mountaineers, where they lost 43-40, and Kansas is coming off a disappointing loss where they had an opportunity of being ranked in the top 15 after losing to the number eight-ranked TCU Horned Frogs.
Both of these teams have an opportunity now to bounce back and turn their season around. It’s not going to be an easy task for either side, but they have to continue winning games at an elite level if they want to make any noise in the Big 12 this season in the postseason.
Odds Breakdown
Kansas Jayhawks Odds
Kansas is going to be coming into this game, getting 9.5 points. Considering that this game is going to be played in Texas, it does make sense why they are getting those points.
However, with how well they have played recently, it is a bit questionable why the books are giving them those types of points on the road.
However, Kansas is 0-10 against the spread in their last 10 games vs Baylor. Let’s break down our Kansas vs Baylor State picks.
Baylor Bears Odds
Baylor is going to be coming into this one as a 9.5-point favorite, and we are unsure if they are warranted of that at the moment.
Their money line is going to be slotted at -325, but they also have some interesting betting trends that we’re going to have to be thinking about here.
The total has hit the over in four of Baylor’s last five games, and they are currently 9-1 in their last 10 home games.
Perhaps if Baylor can continue doing what they’ve done on the offensive side of the football throughout the entire year and how well they’ve played at home in the past few seasons, they will win this game.
Kansas vs. Baylor Betting Prediction
The best bet for this game is going to be taking Kansas + 9.5. Although Baylor has competed in this matchup throughout the past 10 games, Kansas has simply been too good this year not to take them when they’re getting +9.5.
This is a completely different Kansas Jayhawks football team that we have seen throughout the past few decades, and this team is showing that they have the ability to turn that entire program around. It’s not going to be an easy task for them to go into Baylor and get this win, but Kansas has been facing adversity all season long and has responded well to it with a 5-2 record.
Their offense runs better than most in college football, and that’s exactly what we’re going to need them to do in this game.
The second-best bet in this game is going to be taking the over. Although the over in this Kansas vs Baylor State picks is interesting and a reflection of the college football standings because of both of their offenses, I do think that this number is even a bit too low. Kansas is going to be coming into this game, scoring 42, 31, 35, 40, 55, and 56 points in five of their six games.
They’ve nearly hit this number by themselves throughout the first six weeks of the season and have a real opportunity of doing that once again in this game
- Kansas +9.5 (-110)
- Over 58.5 (-110)
