Dan Karpuc: Kansas +10 at Houston
I wrote about Kansas over 2.5 regular-season wins as one of the clear college football win total values earlier this summer and heading into Week 3, they're one win away from cashing! With a 56-10 win over Tennessee Tech and a shocking 55-42 victory at West Virginia, dynamic quarterback Jalon Daniels is off to a hot start for head coach Lance Leipold, who clearly has this program trending in the right direction. In two starts, Daniels has completed 70.8% of his passes for 424 yards, four touchdowns and an interception and has also added 114 rushing yards on 15 carries and another score.
In the small sample size, KU has averaged 7.5 yards per carry for 497 yards and 10 touchdowns in Leipold's run-first system that produced now-pro Jarret Patterson at Buffalo in one of the most prolific rushing offenses in college foo tball at the time. Houston lost to Texas Tech (33-30) in their opener and narrowly got by UTSA (37-35) in overtime, so I'm not exactly worried about them blowing the doors off of the Jayhawks at this point, which is something I never expected to write. I'm definitely on Kansas +10 and will even consider betting their moneyline.
