Lindenwood vs Kansas prediction
Lindenwood enters its first game of the season in year three of its FCS transition. It has struggled with the transition thus far, and things will not get any easier as it will face a strong team in the Big 12.
Kansas is a very capable team and sits several tiers above Lindenwood in terms of talent. They return with star quarterback Jalen Daniels, and he should have an opportunity to warm up against Lindenwood. Even the areas where Kansas has weaknesses, it is still stronger than Lindenwood.
Adding to the odds that Kansas will come away with a win is the fact that the Jayhawks are historically strong starters. They usually do well to start the season before fading a little bit down the stretch. If that continues, it is more bad news for Lindenwood.
Kansas enters the game on Thursday night as one of the biggest favorites of Week 1. It is such a favorite that FanDuel is not even offering a moneyline wager for bettors.
