The Kansas Jayhawks had issues beating South Dakota in its opener, so there’s reason why they’re not getting any respect here. Coastal Carolina has been a buzzsaw these last couple of years and a program that probably deserves more respect. With that said, this will be just the fifth time in school history Coastal Carolina has been favored by at least 21 points. And while Kansas doesn’t win games, the talent level gap between these clubs isn’t all that crazy. Also, Kansas is 9-5-1 against the spread in its last 15 games when an underdog of 21 or more points. Give me Kansas and the points.
