Central Michigan at Kansas

The Kansas Jayhawks have a long way to go to turn in a competitive season in the Big-12. They are just 12-61 in their last 73 games, and it doesn't look like they are going to win many games this season. They opened with a win vs. SE Missouri State. 38-16, but Central Michigan is a big step up from that game. This will be their third game vs. the MAC Conference over the last four years, and they split the first two. One notable from those two games is that Kansas did not top the 24-point mark in either of them. Central Michigan finished the season at 5-2-1 to the UNDER in their last eight games, and opened the 2017 season with another UNDER vs. URI, scoring just 30 points. That illustrates the lack of offense by Central Michigan as URI opened each of the last three seasons vs. an FBS opponent and gave up an average of 50 points per game. Those three teams were Marshall, Kansas, and Syracuse, so no powerhouses. I think points will be at a premium here, so play on the UNDER.
