Kansas Jayhawks vs UCF Knights Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 10/04/25

The Kansas Jayhawks and UCF Knights are both coming off a loss in conference play and looking for a bounce-back win inside the “Bounce House.” Kansas possesses a high-octane offense capable of big plays downfield led by QB Jalon Daniels and the passing game. The Jayhawks rank 9th in passing efficiency, 14th in passing success rate and 1st in FBS in EPA/dropback. Kansas managed 445 passing yards last time out on just 19 completions, and I expect success against a middle-of-the-pack defensive unit like the Knights boast.

The UCF offense, on the other hand, has been incredibly inconsistent this season, and it’s difficult to put much faith in QB Tayven Jackson with Daniels as his counterpart. For reference, the Knights rank 85th in offensive success rate and 106th in points per quality drive. It’s a bit of a funky number, but I like the Jayahawks at -4.5 and would play them up to -5.5.
