Kansas vs BYU Prediction
We knew this was a down year for Kansas, but now we just saw the Jayhawks lose to Utah has a 6.5-point favorite, which is a new low. Kansas is now 1-6 ATS in its last seven games and has failed to win each of its last three road games. BYU is 12-2 SU at home this season and is coming off back-to-back wins to kind of right the ship. BYU has the offense to win a game like this, and it’s just hard to get behind Kansas with confidence. The Jayhawks just aren’t scaring anybody this season. I’ll roll with BYU and the small number on Tuesday night.
