Result:
WIN

Surprised this line moved down a bit, as the country may not know it, but Kansas has a pretty good football team. Sure they were drilled by Texas, but who hasn't? Iowa State would also get slaughtered by UT this season. Iowa State beat Colorado two weeks ago, but its offense was shut down and outgained greatly by Colorado, and ISU needed two 60 yard defensive touchdowns for the win. Kansas's defense is very similar to Colorado's upfront, but better in the back with Flash Gordon. Kansas needs this game to go bowling as well, and should Colorado beat Nebraska the day before, which they should (14.5 point favorites), this game loses some luster for the Clones. Kansas has won 8 of the last 13 straight-up. Home teams off a road blowout loss by 21 points or more facing an opponent off a win by 10 points or more as an underdog are 23-8 STRAIGHT-UP over the last 10 seasons. Also, teams vs. a winning opponent off a win by 14 or more points as a home underdog are 25-10 STRAIGHT-UP since 1992. One star on the Jayhawks to go bowling.
