3 Betting Tips for Kansas vs BYU

1. Cougars to Remain Lone Undefeated Team inBig 12

Will the clock eventually strike midnight for Cinderella? So far, the answer has been no for the Cougars.

BYU remains the only undefeated team in the Big 12, but it has not always been pretty. The Cougars needed a late holding call to keep their hopes alive versus Utah in a controversial finish that made college football news.

BYU has won two of their last three games by three points or less. Yet, the point here is the Cougars have won and it is hard to do it nine straight times.

The Cougars moved up to No. 6 in the College Football Playoff rankings and are in the driver’s seat to land one of the four first-round byes. BYU is doing all this despite being picked near the bottom of the preseason Big 12 rankings.

Heading into the final stretch, BYU will be a favorite in the NCAA football spreads for the final three games.

2. Kansas is Better Than its Record

Casuals are going to look at Kansas’ 3-6 record and assume BYU will cruise to victory. Yet, the Jayhawks are playing their best football. However, per Kansas vs BYU betting trends, the Jayhawks are 0-4 in road games this season.

It is a little too late for Kansas to be a factor in the Big 12 title race, but the Jayhawks can sure ruin the holidays for another program. Quarterback Jalon Daniels is starting to look like the legit dual-threat quarterback we all expected.

3. Betting Pick: BYU Stays Hot and Covers ATS

It would not be a surprise if Kansas upset BYU. Of the Cougars’ three remaining games, this could be the most likely stumbling block with upcoming matchups at Arizona State and Houston.

Yet, I do think BYU is the much better team. The Cougars are not going to take the Jayhawks lightly just days removed from their upset against Iowa State.

BYU continues its perfect season. Take the Cougars to cover ATS versus Kansas in your NCAA football picks.
