Kansas Jayhawks quarterback Jalon Daniels (6) throws a pass during the first half of the game against West Virginia Mountaineers at David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium on Sept. 20, 2025.

Saturday night in the Big 12 brings a sneaky game that could be ripe for fun, points, and some chaos when the Kansas Jayhawks head to Orlando for a conference matchup against the UCF Knights.

UCF sits at 3-1, but fell to a questionable Kansas State team in their last game by 14 points. Their opportunity to rebound against Kansas could be a turning point for the Knights in either direction.

What can we say about Kansas? Sitting at 3-2, they are scoring points, but also giving them up just as much. They have the feel of a classic Big 12 team that will drag you into a shootout.

Kansas vs. UCF prediction, pick:

Kansas' two losses are to Missouri and Cincinnati, both of which came in shootouts that saw them score at least 31 points, but lacked the ability to get a defensive stop.

Kansas QB Jalon Daniels has been absolutely electric this year, throwing for 1,262 yards and 16 touchdowns already. He also has 214 yards on the ground. This matchup is treacherous for the Knights, who struggled against Kansas State dual-threat QB Avery Johnson last week, giving up 168 passing yards, two touchdowns, and 75 rushing yards to him.

Jalon Daniels may be even better than that and could cause headaches for the Knights' defense. Look for his talent to be enough for the Jayhawks to notch a win on the road.

Prediction: Kansas 27, UCF 20

Best Bet: Kansas -4.5
