Vegas thinks Kansas is better than BYU
BYU just a 2.5 point favorite against Kansas. With home field usually being worth 3 points (and I would suspect BYU's home field in a night game might be worth a bit more), they're effectivley saying Kansas would be the favorite on a neutral field.

Vegas continues to believe BYU is lucky, not elite. Honestly I don't care much which they are as long as they keep winning.

Deep down I think most of us would admit based on traditional metrics like how many guys will get drafted into the NFL this year, there is a huge talent chasm between the top teams and BYU.

But games aren't always won by whoever has the most future draft picks.

And no, Vegas lines aren't set to get 50/50 action, so please don't post that in response to this. You see games with 80% or even 90% of the handle on one side, and believe me Vegas knows how their customers will bet well enough that that would never happen if they were aiming for 50/50.

Even if Vegas were aiming for 50/50, all that would change in my headline would day "betting public" thinks BYU is lucky, not elite, rather than "Vegas". Doesn't really change the point much.
