The Kansas Jayhawks Team Preview
The Kansas Jayhawks are 1-3 (0-1) this year after they lost to West Virginia by a score of 32-28 in their last game. Kansas led 28-17 in the fourth quarter, but they allowed two touchdowns in the last 3:27 for the loss.

Jalon Daniels threw for 184 yards, one touchdown, and one interception, while Devin Neal rushed for 110 yards and one score.

On the flip side, the defense has been letting in about 20.3 points per game this season.

The TCU vs Kansas Game Prediction
The Pick: Kansas ML
So, both these teams have been on a bit of a losing streak lately and are eager to turn things around. Kansas had some close calls in their last three games but couldn't quite pull off a win. TCU, on the other hand, let a lead slip away against UCF, and then got crushed by SMU. I'm not really rooting for either team here, but I think Kansas has a stronger defense than TCU. It's probably going to be a high-scoring game, but I'm betting on Daniels and the Kansas offense to come through with some big plays. My money's on Kansas to take the win.
