I usually wait til closer to kickoff, but I have made large plays on the UNDER in 1st H of Kansas/USM as well as UNDER for the game.
Kansas lost its season opener 6-3 to North Dakota State, and this was apparently just embarrassing enough for Turner Gill to switch QB and start a true freshman at running back. For one week, this was sheer genius, as they managed to turn around and upset Ga Tech 28-25 at home, and both played very well.
But, the fact remains... this is an offense with an experiment at QB, a true freshman at tailback, and they managed only 3 points against ND State.
So Miss has gained notoriety in the past few seasons as a powerful spread offense, but they are in the always dicey position of attempting to do so with two different QBs at once. Together they have combined for 2 TD and 2 INTs. Not exactly the stuff of explosive offense.
7 different players have rushed the ball for So Miss, and that speaks a lot to their depth, but as with the QB position, it also speaks to the fact that there is no marquee player in the backfield.
If I had to, I would take the points here, as I think this will be a close game, and I think that the South Carolina game exposed this So. Miss offense as not having a great handle on the spread at this point.
But I keep going back to the fact that Kansas' new backfield is not going to surprise anybody this week, and the fact remains that Kansas has averaged 15 points on offense, and So Miss has averaged 23.5, and for my $$ neither offense looks strong enough for me to think that the 53 point total will ever be in danger.
Kansas/SoMiss UNDER 26.5 1st Half
Kansas/SoMiss UNDER 53 large
Good luck all.
