22 1/2 points

That doesn't look like a large enough line when playing hapless Kansas.

I think I would lay the points.

I know the Herd would cover that spread with ease. I have to believe that even WV should cover it as well.

Couldn't take the points with Huggy's money! KU would have to improve 50% just to be considered a dreadful football team!

I haven't seen a Kansas line that small since they faced the Nicholls Colonels back in 2018, when they only lost 26 to 23. Surely the cousins can cover 22.5 points to this bunch of stiffs. I think I have to bet this one.

I love WVU - 22. 5 , I caught KU against Coastal Carolina and Okie State and they were horrid on both sides of the ball. Didn't see the Baylor tilt but the score indicates it was more of the same, no reason to think it won't continue Saturday unless the Cousins just sleepwalk through this one.

Every time I see people speculating on betting lines I'm reminded of what Ben Franklin said a couple of hundred years ago - A fool and his money are soon parted. That saying still rings true today. And as a follow up to that point I will say that Vegas was built with money from people who thought they could outsmart the oddsmakers. As for me, I will just keep my money in my pocket and take whatever the result of the game is.

Easy money here. Bet WVU and lay the 22 1/2 points. Kansas is horrid. By the way, Buzzard, the Las Vegas experts often set lines in an attempt to persuade bettors to wager an equal amount on each team, as equal bets mean that the House clears the 10% "tax" imposed on each bet.

Didn’t it start at 27?

It looks like Kansas +24 was the highest number since the line was set. The number has stayed steady between 22 and 22 1/2 points at most of the sports books this week. It probably should be closer to 27, so it will be interesting to see whether the big money sharps push the line higher closer to kickoff.

Thanks. I thought I heard it was 27 but never looked it up.

It's dropped to 21.5 on fanduel...interesting total with a number of 3 TD's plus, 51.5, the boys in Vegas don't expect the KU offense to come with much which I think is a fair assumption!
