Im on the Over of 57.5 in this Kansas vs UNLV game for these reasons:

- Last year when these teams it was a high scoring game, but Kansas finished UNLV off in the 4th quarter scoring 21 points to UNLVs 12. Those QBs are gone for both teams, UNLVs RB is gone, but their schemes and explosive play calls are still in tact. I don’t like Kansas’ defense, and UNLV have yet to be tested to really tell if they are a defense to be reckoned with. Especially in a home spot bounceback situation after losing to Illinois, I expect Kansas to have a better offensive game, scoring more than 25 points, and because I think UNLV is a great side bet, the Over is my main play.

- UNLV have the more efficient offense right now, turning the ball over less, bigger plays made in the passing game, and their QB is a good runner out of the pocket. Their ability to extend drives in multiple ways is only going to make this game extend beyond the game total. I don’t see a blowout happening like we did if you bet on the over with me in the Thursday night NFL game Dolphins vs Bills.

Official Play: Over 57.5

Side Bet: UNLV +9.5
