TCU vs Kansas Odds

Odds as of October 5th at BetMGM.

Curiously, TCU enters this one as nearly a touchdown favorite over a sneaky good Kansas Jayhawks team. Many bettors will be quick to jump on the Kansas +200 moneyline as a home underdog.

The total being set at 68.5 suggests a high-scoring affair on Saturday afternoon. Currently, 87% of bets with the spread are taking the Horned Frogs to cover.

TCU Betting Trends

The Horned Frogs have looked explosive all season long. In his first year as head coach Sonny Dykes’ offense is averaging the second most yards in the country, at 549.5 per game. TCU offensive coordinator Garrett Riley has his unit humming heading into Week 5. Not to mention, the Horned Frogs have spread the wealth, as seven pass-catchers enter this one with at least one touchdown reception. This offense is a well-oiled machine.

Seasoned veteran Max Duggan has raised his game to new heights in 2022. The senior has amassed 997 yards and 11 touchdowns through five games without throwing an interception.

Meanwhile, the TCU defense has been solid thus far. The Horned Frogs surrender just 4.8 yards per play and only 120 yards rushing yards per game. Their front seven has harried and harassed quarterbacks all season long to the tune of averaging 3 sacks per contest.

Appealingly, the over has hit in 9 straight TCU games following a straight up win and 6 straight contests following an against the spread victory.

Kansas Betting Trends

Rock. Chalk. Jayhawk. Unbelievably, Kansas have smashed through their season win total of 2.5 and sit at 5-0. Head coach Lance Leipold has turned this program on its head. Don’t look now Kansas fans, but the Jayhawks have become the Cinderella story of college football.

Quarterback Jalon Daniels has been a revelation. Daniels has thrown for 987 yards and 11 touchdowns while turning the ball over just once. Additionally, the junior pivot has added 335 yards and five touchdowns on the ground. The electrifying Daniels is the definition of dual-threat.

At the same time, the Kansas defense has been opportunistic this season. Through 5 games, the Jayhawks have racked up 15 sacks. Defensive coordinator Brian Borland has his guys attacking quarterbacks with gusto.

The Jayhawks have been a bettors’ dream recently, covering the spread in eight straight football games.

TCU vs Kansas Prediction

If nothing else, TCU vs Kansas should be incredibly fun to watch this weekend. If you love offensive football, Lawrence, Kansas is the place to be on Saturday. These teams average a combined 83 points per game! Quarterbacks Max Duggan and Jalon Daniels have the ability to turn this game into a track meet at a moment’s notice.

At the same time, it’s impossible to forget that Kansas is trying to break a 45-game losing streak against ranked opponents. The Jayhawks’ last victory against a ranked team came all the way back in 2010. However, the Horned Frogs are just 1-4 against the spread in their last 5 outings in Kansas, and just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 meetings versus Kansas overall. We’re sticking with the Jayhawks at home in what should be a thrilling contest.

Pick: Kansas +6.5 (-110)
