Opening point spread (according to BetOnline.ag): Kansas -3
Gut reaction:
This is about where I expected this line to open up at. With Kansas notching their first road win since 2009 on Saturday Central Michigan and Rutgers getting taken to the woodshed by the Buckeyes yet again, it makes sense for Kansas to open as a small favorite for next week. The injury situation surrounding Art Sitkowski is no doubt playing a role in this line as well. I think if Sitkowski was cleared the line would be a little lower, maybe -2 or -2.
