Kansas vs Arizona State Prediction
These two teams start conference play with a neutral site game in London, so we will see if the travel has any impact on the game. ASU played well last week against Texas A&M, but turnovers cost them the game. Kansas was outplayed by Missouri last week and they allowed nearly 500 total yards. I don’t think the defenses are going to travel in this one and I think we will see plenty of points. Take the over in this matchup.
