Yes, you read that headline correctly and I can assure you this is not some type of hoax. Oddsmakers have tabbed the 1-2 Iowa State Cyclones, who have won just six games since the start of the 2013 season, a 14.5-point favorite over Kansas.
As shocking as that line might seem, equally shocking is how much Kansas sucks. The wretched Jayhawks limp into Saturday's contest in Ames at 0-3 and with their most recent loss at Rutgers, they have now dropped 31-straight road contests, which is the longest streak since the FBS and FCS split in 1978.
For those that have been following the sorrows of the Jayhawks since last spring, it's not entirely surprising to see this unit winless after non-conference play.
