The Kansas football team takes on the UCF Knights this Saturday. These are five predictions for the contest that we came up with.

Kansas (4-1, 1-1 Big 12) and UCF (3-2, 0-2 Big 12) are looking for bragging rights in the first-ever meeting between the two programs. UCF is looking to end a two-game losing skid as they search to secure a victory as a member of the new-look Big 12, while Kansas hopes to rebound from an ugly loss to Texas on the road.

Each team is dealing with significant injuries to their quarterbacks and won’t be at full strength for the contest. That is the reality of college football once you start to hit the midpoint of the year. To come out victorious, either of these schools might have to pull some unconventional strings.

Although Kansas is slightly favored (-1.5), this game could go either way. Now is when we start to see the true colors revealed of these teams. However, we were able to put together a list of predictions for the contest, all of which are extremely possible scenarios.
