Pick: Kansas -12.5 (-110)
College football bowl season resumes on Tuesday night with the guaranteed rate bowl between the Kansas Jayhawks and the UNLV Rebels. Both of these teams put together quality, regular seasons, and both of them will be looking to cap the year off with a huge victory in this bowl game to give themselves as much momentum as possible heading into the off-season. This is a successful season for both of these programs that have been down over the last couple of seasons, and now they will face off here in this one as one of them looks to end their year on a high note. This should be one of the best of the slate here in this one in the guaranteed rate bowl between Kansas and UNLV.
The Kansas Jayhawks put up one of their best seasons in over a decade and a half with their performance this year. They will look to build on their successful campaign and end the year with a victory in their bowl game against UNLV, as they look for their ninth victory of the season. A win in this game would give Kansas plenty of momentum, heading into the off-season as they look to further establish themselves as a potential contender within the college football world in the near future. Kansas picked up eight wins throughout the regular season, and they were pretty competitive within the Big 12 conference, where they will instantly become one of the top teams in the conference after the exit of the Oklahoma Sooners and the Texas Longhorns in the middle of next year.
That is something they will likely use to motivate them throughout the off-season, especially with the fact that they beat Oklahoma on the way out of the conference. Despite a couple of heartbreaking losses to Texas Tech, and Kansas State during the backstretch of the season, they did end their year on a high note with a blowout win over Cincinnati. That is something they will look to build off of throughout this game as they look too further improve with another quality performance against UNLV. As the Kansas Jayhawks look to win their second consecutive game to wrap up the college football season.

UNLV put together a successful season as they managed to play their way into their first bowl game in nearly a decade. Their first season under brand new head coach Barry Odom was a success, and that is something they will look to build off of throughout this game against Kansas on Tuesday night. As they look to cross the double digit win mark for the first time in a very long time and cap off a very successful season and take as much momentum with them as possible into the off-season.
Despite coming up short in the conference championship game, they did manage to make an appearance in the Mountain West conference championship game this season against Boise State. Despite the loss to the Broncos in the conference championship game, they still have plenty of momentum coming into this game against Kansas here in this one on Tuesday night and they will look to cap off their season with a quality performance here in this one. UNLV will be looking for a double digit win season with another quality performance here on Tuesday night as they look the cap off the year with plenty of momentum against a quality power five program.
Betting trends to consider in this matchup:
- Kansas is 5-2 as a favorite this season
- UNLV is 3-3 as an underdog this season
- Kansas is 4-3 after a win this season
I expect this to be a close and competitive team between these two college football programs, but in the end I do look for the Kansas Jayhawks to pick up the win over the UNLV Rebels. I look for Kansas to grab their ninth victory of the season in a back-and-forth contest here in the guaranteed rate bowl on Tuesday night, as I could easily see this game coming down to the last possession, and whichever team has the football last grabbing the victory. I look for that to be the Kansas Jayhawks here in this one on Tuesday night as they cap off their best season since 2007.
