The current betting odds have Kansas listed as a 7.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Kansas is not off to a great start this season, they only have 1 loss in 8 games played but they haven't been very good in a lot of these games. They have been winning a lot of their games by just a few points but they have also had a very tough schedule to start the year with a lot of good teams they have seen already. Their only loss this season came against Tennessee but they do have a few wins over other ranked teams and they will be playing with a chip on their shoulder as they are usually one of the best teams in the country but only ranked 9th right now. Seton Hall got off to a good start this season but they haven't been great in their games lately as they have taken some bad losses to some bad teams and have even been blown out in a few of those games. Kansas has been very good at home this season while Seton Hall will be playing their 1st road game of the season here against a ranked team in a very hostile environment, and they already haven't been playing great lately. This will be a good get right game for Kansas as they look to get a big blowout win at home and prove they are much better than the way they have been playing. The best way to place a bet here is on Kansas to cover the spread in this game.
