Despite a disappointing loss to Illinois last week, college football expert Douglas Farmer predicts a Kansas victory over UNLV. He argues that quarterback Jalon Daniels' poor performance was an anomaly and that the Jayhawks have the advantage against a run-heavy Rebels offense.
With Kansas still stewing from their Week 2 loss, our college football expert Douglas Farmer believes a bounceback is in order for the Jayhawks against a UNLV team that's shown very little through two weeks.
It was an anomaly. It was a bad evening. In his previous 589 career pass attempts, Daniels had thrown just 15 total picks, one every 39.3 pass attempts. In what world should those two results knock this all the way down to an even touchdown? This is an overreaction by Jayhawks fans and bookmakers alike.
No one on UNLV’s offense is more electric with the ball in his hands than senior receiver Jacob De Jesus, also the Rebels’ punt and kick returner. He caught UNLV’s two touchdowns against Houston to open the season, a moment that earned more trust than anything done against Utah Tech.Kansas opened at most books as a touchdown favorite on Sunday before toggling between -6.5 and -7.5 into Monday only to settle at -7.5 for the whole week.
Douglas Farmer spends his days thinking about college football and his nights thinking about the NBA. His betting habits and coverage follow that same pattern. He covered Notre Dame football for various outlets from 2008 to 2024, most notably spending eight seasons as NBC Sports’ beat writer on the Irish. That was also when his gambling focus took off.
