Look for a high-scoring game where the Jayhawks win.
Guaranteed Rate Bowl Betting Prediction
Kansas 44, UNLV 30
The Jayhawks have survived a tough Big 12 schedule, a majority of the season spent without Jalon Daniels, and still managed to finish 8-4/
UNLV enters the Guaranteed Rate Bowl off a tough loss to Boise State and were stifled offensively. If the offense is slowed by KU, it could get ugly quickly. The Rebels were a top 40 team in scoring, but finished below Kansas in points per game.
Sometimes talent wins out, and the Jayhawks have more of it right now.
