There are a couple of Guaranteed Rate Bowl betting picks that really stand out for this game, but you shouldn’t expect to see a great game. NCAAF injuries and the transfer portal can impact how this game is played out, but that isn’t going to really change the outcome.
UNLV has not been a good defensive team this season, and they are really going to struggle in this game. The Rebels are facing an explosive Kansas Jayhawks team, and they aren’t going to have the ball a ton.
Betting the under 67.5 total points is the first wager to make, but then it’s all about betting on Kansas. The Jayhawks are going to win this game by at least two touchdowns as they take control of the Guaranteed Rate Bowl.

Guaranteed Rate Bowl Betting Preview
This is not one of the biggest games on the NCAAF schedule when it comes to bowl season, but looking at each team will give you an idea of the bets to make.
Jayhawks Looking to Score
The Kansas Jayhawks schedule was much tougher than that of UNLV this season, and that is something to keep in mind in this game. Kansas actually was in a good position in the NCAAF standings in the Big 12 Conference for much of this season, and they got the job done on offense.
Kansas is averaging 35.8 points per game this season, and they aren’t afraid to take some shots down the field. The Jayhawks are not only averaging 223 passing yards per game, but they have also rushed for 211 rushing yards per game.
Running back Devin Neal is having a huge season for the Jayhawks as he has racked up 1,209 yards and 15 touchdowns. Neal will be looking to set the tone for Kansas, but this team will also have to get some stops.
Rebels Can’t Get Stops
If you are going to make a UNLV Rebels prediction in this game then you are taking a risk betting on this defense. UNLV has a ton of talent on offense, but this team was giving up way too many points to end the season.
The Rebels are averaging over 34 points per game this season, but they are not a team that has as much talent as Kansas. UNLV has been able to move the football all season long, but that shouldn’t be the focus in this game.
UNLV is playing closer to home than Kansas in this game, and that could provide them a bit of an edge in this matchup. The Rebels will not only have to defend in this game, but running the football could allow them to slow the game down.
