Kansas Hopes to Avoid Third Straight Loss

The Kansas Jayhawks are 1-2 to start this season, beating FCS Lindenwood before dropping two straight games to Illinois and UNLV. Both Illinois and UNLV are very strong defensively, but the Jayhawks have to be disappointed in the way their season has gone so far. Here, they will look to remedy things against a West Virginia team that has also struggled against FBS competition this year. But with Kansas averaging just 18.5 points per game against FBS opponents so far this season, they will need to be better on that side of the ball to avoid a 1-3 start.

West Virginia Still Seeking First FBS Win

Like Kansas, the West Virginia Mountaineers are 1-2, with their lone win of the season coming against FCS UAlbany. West Virginia has losses to Penn State and Pitt under their belt, having lost to the Panthers in the Backyard Brawl rivalry game last week. In this contest, the question will be whether West Virginia's defense can hold up against another FBS opponent, as Pitt has allowed 36 points per game to Penn State and Pitt over their first two games of the year against FBS competition.

Kansas vs West Virginia Best Bet

Both teams in this Kansas vs West Virginia matchup have been dreadful against FBS opponents to start the year. Still, we will go with West Virginia to get the job done at home in this matchup. The Jayhawks offense should continue to sputter on the road, while West Virginia's season might as well end if they can't get a win at home over a bad offensive opponent.
