Betting lines, game preview, and prediction for Kansas vs. BYU

Oh yeah, let us be dramatic in these crazy times when the world is falling apart…

This show could be the most fun thing you watch this weekend.

BYU beat Utah in another exciting game that will be remembered as long as there are BYU-Utah football games.

For starters, BYU beat its hurt archrival, which kept its unbeaten season alive. They also did it in such a brutal way that it caused a very expensive flip-out, which added to the idea that this season has been lucky.

It is almost certain that they will play for the Big 12 title, but it will not be easy going to Arizona State next week and finishing with Houston.

During this time, Kansas’s offense has been on fire, going crazy against Houston and Iowa State in the past few weeks. That is all for now. This week it is BYU, then Colorado, and finally Baylor.

Why Kansas Will Win

How did this all turn around for Kansas? In the past few weeks, not much has changed except that the offense stepped things up a notch.

Being fast and able to hit over 400 yards a game on a regular bass was not enough. The team is now 3-0 when it gets 467 yards or more and 0-6 when it doesn’t. The running game has become unstoppable.

BYU’s defense has been good—in the thrilling win over Oklahoma State, it only gave up over 400 yards once—but it has not seen anything like this before.

Oklahoma State, UCF, Kansas State, Utah, and even Southern Illinois were all good at beating BYU. Kansas is getting almost six yards per carry on average; it needs to keep being quick, and

Why BYU Will Win

Turnovers. K-State gives up a lot of them, and BYU gets them.

There have been times when the Jayhawk defense has not been there, but they have been able to take the ball away a lot, like four times against Houston a few weeks ago. But KU has not beaten an FBS team this year when it gives the ball away.

It is fifth in the country for BYU to force a turnover in every game. The team does not get penalized often, plays well on special teams, and more and more people are sure that there is something magical about this group.

Kansas vs BYU: Who Will Win?

Once more, make this one fun.

Kansas has the offense to really, really test BYU, but BYU has been able to handle every test.

K-State will get off to a great start, but BYU will slowly get back into the game. With one big return and one big turnover, the Cougars will be in the game and have a chance to win another late thriller.
