Kansas has dropped three games in a row, including a 27-20 defeat to the Oklahoma State Cowboys as 19.5-point home underdogs last Saturday, while going UNDER the betting total for a fifth consecutive affair. The Jayhawks have lost their last 26 true road games and also 29 overall when playing away from Lawrence, which can’t be ignored when looking over the college football betting lines. Offensively, the team is averaging just 15.8 points per game, as it has been limited to 331.8 yards per contest. Kansas is 0-8 SU and 4-4 ATS as underdogs of 10.5 to 21 points the last two-plus seasons.
The Jayhawks due lead the Big 12 Conference and rank 28th nationally in fumble recoveries, which is important to consider when making your Week 8 college football betting picks, with six different players contributing to that statistic. Kansas junior running back De’Andre Mann leads the charge offensively, as he paces the conference in averaging 5.27 yards per carry, which has resulted in 332 yards through six games.
Texas Tech has fallen in defeat in its last four contests, including a disappointing 37-34 setback to the West Virginia Mountaineers as six-point home underdogs last Saturday, while going UNDER the betting total for a second consecutive affair. The Red Raiders are 14-1 SU all-time against the Jayhawks—winning the last seven meetings in this series dating back to the 2004 campaign. Texas Tech is 2-0 SU and 0-2 ATS versus teams with a losing record over the last two-plus seasons.
The Red Raiders have allowed just five sacks in six games this season, but they’ve still lost the turnover battle in 13 of their last 14 affairs. Texas Tech quarterback Davis Webb needs just 19 passing yards to break into the top 10 in school history for career yards, while he’s thrown at least one touchdown in the first 16 games played since arriving in Lubbock.
Sports bettors will likely back the Red Raiders due to the favorite covering the number in four of the last five games in this rivalry.
