The Kansas Jayhawks (3-0) will host the Duke Blue Devils (3-0) Saturday on FS1 in a matchup between two national basketball powerhouses…but this isn't a basketball game as both of these football programs come into this contests undefeated.
Kansas opened up as a 10-point favorite, but was down to a 7.5 point favorite early Thursday. The total opened at 64.5 and has made a slight jump to 65.5
The undefeated Blue Devils are 2-1 against the spread, and the over/under is 1-2 in their games. They opened up with a 30-0 win over Temple as a 9.5-point favorite, beat Northwestern 31-23 as a 10-point road dog, and last week took down a local FCS foe in North Carolina A&T 49-20 as a 30-point favorite. With one more win, Duke will have surpassed their preseason Vegas over/under win total of 3.0.
For the first time in college football history Kansas, Kentucky, UNC, and Duke have started the season 3-0 ??
