RebetFree-to-play social sportsbook with sweepstakes prizesClaim →As of November 2, one of these teams has a game on its record and the other has not played at all. The sportsbooks have not posted a number yet, so anybody claiming an edge right now is guessing. The Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders visit the Kansas Jayhawks at Allen Fieldhouse on Friday, November 6, at 9:00 PM ET. The smart move is to be clear about what we know and what we do not.
Middle Tennessee is 1-0. That is one game into the season, far too small a sample to call form. One win tells you the team showed up. It does not tell you who that team is. Kansas is 0-0 as of publication. Kansas has not played a game yet this season, so there are no current-season results for the Jayhawks to lean on. What we do have is the setting. Kansas is at home at Allen Fieldhouse, and Middle Tennessee is the road team. The game airs on ESPNU, which answers where to watch Middle Tennessee vs Kansas.
Our data has no published stat leaders for either side yet, and we will not make them up. Early in a season, the box score shows who is getting minutes and shots. Once that data lands, check who handles the ball late in close games and who the offense runs through. Until then, any player angle on Kansas vs Middle Tennessee is a hunch, not analysis.
Officially, nobody is favored yet, because no Middle Tennessee vs Kansas odds are posted. When they are, you will see three main lines. The spread is a handicap. The favorite has to win by more than the number for a bet on it to cash, and the underdog can lose by less than the number and still win the bet. The moneyline is a straight bet on who wins the game, and the price tells you how much you risk and how much you win.
The total is a bet on whether the two teams combined score over or under a set number. Every price also carries the vig, a small fee the book builds in so it profits no matter who wins. When lines post, compare them across several sportsbooks. The same bet can pay different amounts at different books. Taking the best number is the easiest edge a bettor ever gets.
Here is the honest answer: we cannot measure value yet. Value comes from comparing two things. The first is the no-vig line, the market's implied win chance with the book's fee removed. The second is the best price you can actually get. If that price pays more than the implied chance says it should, the bet has positive expected value, meaning it would come out ahead on average over many $100 bets.
With no prices posted, there is no break-even rate to beat and no dollar figure to quote. Our read leans Kansas, built on the home floor, not on Middle Tennessee's single game. A lean is not a bet until the number supports it.
Our early lean is Kansas. There is no price and no book to name yet, so treat this as a direction, not a ticket. When odds post, shop every book, take the best number available on Kansas, and pass if the price asks you to pay more than the market's own no-vig numbers justify. This is Wise Guy Desk analysis, not an official play.
We expect Kansas to control this one at home. Still, one game of Middle Tennessee results and none for Kansas means real uncertainty, and we will revisit once the box scores and the board fill in. Our Middle Tennessee vs Kansas prediction: Kansas 76, Middle Tennessee 65. That is the read before a line even exists; the Desk posts a documented free play on days when the numbers do line up, and it sits right below.
Kansas is our early lean at home, but with no odds on the board yet, the number you can get will decide whether it is a bet at all.

Yes. This is a free Wise Guy Desk breakdown, our analysis, not Ross's official plays. Ross's documented plays are bet with real money and graded win or loss on the members board.
Expected value first: the best price across the regulated US books we track versus the true fair price with the vig removed, then the matchup data (form, standings, injuries, key players). Line shopping for the best number is the edge most bettors leave on the table.
