Kansas went 3 - 0 after playing Tennesse Tech, West Virginia, and Houston. While these are certainly not the best football schools, they're no schlubs. West Virginia has had some great teams in the years past. However, they were no match for Kansas. The Jayhawks have scored 48 points or more in every game so far.
Duke took the road less traveled to 3 - 0. Prior to this game, the Blue Devils played Temple, Northwestern, and North Carolina A&T. This was certainly an easier schedule than Kansas, and Duke scored far fewer points in their three games. Through 3 weeks, the Blue Devils have scored 110, as opposed to the Jayhawks' 159.

Duke Blue Devils vs. Kansas Jayhawks Prediction
This is going to be a great game, and while the spread makes it seem like this is going to be a close game, there is no reason for bettors to believe that. Kansas has demolished every team they have faced so far, but Duke's defense has been very strong. Kansas has allowed 82 points this season, whereas the Blue Devils have given up 43. This will be a tight game, KU has scored twice as many points as Duke, but they have allowed twice as many as well. Defense wins championships; bettors should ride with the plus sign on this one.
Duke (+240)
