Kansas football: Jayhawks are a huge underdog against Coastal Carolina

The Kansas football team finally got a win after so many attempts. But the Jayhawks won’t be favored when they face Coastal Carolina.

It wasn’t pretty when the Kansas football team faced the South Dakota Coyotes. In fact, this particular contest, like many other Kansas football games, was difficult to watch. But the Jayhawks got a much-deserved wins and finally gave their fans something to celebrate.

That’s right, the Kansas football team was able to win on Saturday as the Jayhawks beat South Dakota by a score of 17-14. It was close and required some late game heroics, but the Jayhawks were finally able to get a win.

That may not be the case this week when the Kansas football team travels to Conway, South Carolina to face the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers.

According to WynnBET, Kansas is a pretty significant underdog in this game. The Coastal Carolina Chanticleers are currently favored over the Kansas Jayhawks by 25 points. That’s a fairly significant margin.

Kansas football: Could the Jayhawks somehow upset Coastal Carolina? Can they even stay within 10 points of the Chanticleers?

Right now, the over/under for this Kansas football game is set at 52 points.

Given how large the spread is right now, it seems like oddsmakers aren’t expecting Kansas to really get its offense going this weekend.

While that point spread may seem excessive, it does kinda make some sense. Coastal Carolina was remarkable a season ago and the Chanticleers have a very solid team. Meanwhile, the Kansas football program is very much a work in progress.

The Jayhawks took a small step forward when Lance Leipold led them to a win over South Dakota, but the Coyotes aren’t exactly a great team, even if you compare them to other FCS programs. Coastal Carolina will be a tough team for Kansas to keep up with. This game could get ugly in a hurry.
