Two of the surprise teams of 2022 square off in a big Week 2 non-conference matchup.
Kansas is a 3-point favorite at home against Illinois as the Jayhawks look to build on a bowl appearance a season ago. Kansas snapped a years-long streak of futility with six wins in 2022 and the school’s first bowl since the 2008 season. Kansas hadn’t won more than three games in a season in any of the past 12 seasons.
The spread appears to assume that Kansas quarterback Jalon Daniels will see significant playing time. Daniels, the Big 12 preseason offensive player of the year, didn't play in Week 1 and has missed a lot of fall camp because of back stiffness.Jason Bean started in Daniels’ place in Kansas’ season-opening win and may see time again if Daniels isn’t ready for a full-time role.
Kansas’ defense was its worst unit in 2022 and allowed 35.5 points per game. We’re hoping to see some improvement on Friday night and are eyeing under 57.5 points. Illinois will likely try to keep the ball for as long as it can and limit Kansas’ possessions.Oddsmakers like the chances of a Novak Djokovic vs. Carlos Alcaraz US Open final on Sunday. Djokovic is. A whopping -1100 to take down American Ben Shelton while Alcaraz is -400 to beat Daniil Medvedev.
