Our Kansas Jayhawks vs West Virginia Mountaineers Prediction
The Jayhawks are a two-touchdown favorite in the game, and even though they are coming off a bye, there is reason to be hesitant in backing Kansas to cover. One reason is that their offense was not efficient in their most recent game against Missouri. Further, their defense allowed nearly 600 yards. They were susceptible to huge plays, which allowed Missouri to come back from an early deficit and win the game.
On the other side, the Mountaineers bounced back in a big way from their Week 2 loss to Ohio with the Week 3 win over Pittsburgh. West Virginia rallied from 10 points down with about nine minutes in the game to force overtime, where they ended up winning. The Mountaineers had 174 rushing yards against the Panthers, an area the Jayhawks have recently struggled in. For that reason, our West Virginia Mountaineers vs Kansas Jayhawks prediction is: West Virginia Mountaineers +14.5 Alternate Spread.All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
