Don't be surprised to see the UNLV and Kansas showdown at Children’s Mercy Park feature plenty of scoring. 

That was certainly the case last year during Kansas’ 49-36 win over UNLV in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl. 

The Jayhawks (1-1) returned most of their offensive players, while the Rebels (2-0) continue to roll with Brennan Marion’s Go-Go offense. Friday's contest kicks off at 7 p.m. ET (ESPN).

Kansas is the touchdown-or-more favorite across our best college football betting sites.

Matthew Sluka Under 61.5 rushing yards (-119) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

UNLV quarterback Matthew Sluka, an FCS transfer, is a rushing threat. He has 129 yards on 20 attempts through two games, and his rushing prop has climbed 10 yards from its opening line.

But KU’s defense fared well against a mobile quarterback last week, limiting Illinois QB Luke Altmyer to four yards on six attempts after amassing 70-plus yards in the same matchup a season ago.

Thanks to a projection around 45 yards, I see plenty of value in the latest Under at Caesars. A winning $10 bet will profit $8.40. 

Best odds: -119 via Caesars | Implied probability: 54.34%

Daniel Hishaw Jr. Over 33.5 rushing yards (-113) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Jayhawks haven’t leaned on the ground game enough, which is a primary cause for their road loss against Illinois.

They are 19th in the country in rushing success rate and have the second-best run-blocking grade at Pro Football Focus.

With the market focused on Devin Neal’s rushing prop (100.5), I prefer to take a lower total with KU’s backup running back.

Daniel Hishaw only has six fewer carries than Neal this season, turning his 16 attempts into 105 yards.

A $10 bet on Hishaw’s current Over at Caesars would net $8.85 in winnings.

Best odds: -113 via Caesars | Implied probability: 53.05%

Jalon Daniels Over 0.5 interceptions (-108) ⭐⭐⭐

There is a chance that Jalon Daniels isn’t the same quarterback after being limited to three games due to injuries last year.

Daniels is coming off his worst game since 2020 after throwing four interceptions against Illinois.

Daniels recorded a passing grade of 44.9 against Illinois, according to PFF. He had four turnover-worthy passes and didn't muster a big-time throw.

Daniels threw an interception against Lindenwood in the opener.

I’ll take the -108 value on one errant pass from Daniels. Those odds will yield a $9.26 profit on a winning $10 bet.

Best odds: -108 via Caesars | Implied probability: 51.92%
