UCF Knights vs. Kansas Jayhawks Betting Preview
The Central Florida Knights are still seeking their first Big 12 win. The Knights fell by 13 at Kansas State, and then by one last week to Baylor. The Knights will need to pick up the defense, as they allowed 40 points per game in those two games. The loss to the Baylor Bears was after leading big throughout the game. A game the Knights would certainly like to have back.
Central Florida is one of the top rushing teams in all of College Football. Johnny Richardson is the top running back for Central Florida with 394 yards. The team is averaging 255.2 yards per game. Kobe Hudson is the top receiver for Central Florida. He has caught 21 passes, without his main quarterback John Rhys Plumlee, who has missed the last three games with a leg injury. He is questionable to return for this game.
Kansas Rushing Dominance
For the Kansas Jayhawks, the game of the score against Texas was closer than it appeared. The Jayhawks had opportunities, but let things get away late in the game. The Jayhawks are one of the top rushing teams in College Football. Kansas Jayhawks are averaging just shy of 200 yards per game.
Jalen Daniels sat in the loss to Texas. He is also questionable to return in this game. In the four games he has played, he has thrown five touchdown passes. Lawrence Arnold is the top receiver with 251 yards on the season. Devin Neal is the top dog for the Jayhawks offense. He has rushed 65 times for 439 yards and five touchdowns.
The Jayhawks play this game, then have a trip to Oklahoma State on the slate.
UCF Knights vs. Kansas Jayhawks Betting Prediction
The Kansas Jayhawks as a home underdog is a little surprising. This is still a pretty good football, and very well-coached. Both teams are going to be hungry. Central Florida certainly did not think they would be 0-3 in league play. The Jayhawks would love to get back on track, and know they still have a chance to finish as one of the top two teams in the league with wins.
The Jayhawks run the ball, and Daniels returns and leads them to a win. The bet to make in this game is the Kansas Jayhawks moneyline.
