The -2.5 line for BYU means gamblers thinks Kansas would be favored on a neutral
field (since home field advantage defaults to a 3 point shift in the spread). It's quite similar to when UCF was favored by roughly 3.5 points on their home field, which I suppose makes sense because UCF and Kansas have a very similar profile by FEI (offense, defense, special teams, and overall rankings are each within 10 points of each other).

Still though, it's crazy to see how little faith gamblers continue to have in 9-0 BYU against teams with losing records, despite the fact that BYU is 7-2 against the spread (and both teams that covered against BYU had an extra bye week to prepare). Even though I am anticipating a close game against Kansas, this still feels disrespectful towards BYU.
