I'm taking the points with UTEP. I believe that the Week 1 results have caused this line to be a little higher than it should be, creating value with the home underdog Miners. Kansas destroyed Northern Colorado. Utep lost by six vs. Buffalo. Despite the setback, there were a few bright spots. The Miners posted 139 rushing yards on a respectable 4.8 yards per attempt. Donald Buckram had 108 of those yards, on 14 carries. The defense was also respectable, holding the Bulls to just 309 total yards. (Utep had 372) QB Trevor Vittatoe didn't have a great game in the opener, going 27-of-45 for 233 yards and 0 TDs. Keep in mind that he threw for 3,274 yards and 33 scores in 2008 though. The Miners are 3-1 ATS the last four times that they were underdogs in the +10.5 to +21 range. Looking back further and we find them at 6-2 ATS the last eight times that they were home underdogs in the +10.5 to +14 range. I expect them to give the Jayhawks to improve on those numbers, giving Kansas a much tougher game than most are expecting. 7*
