Bet the Frogs: TCU Football at Kansas Jayhawks
Game Odds
NOTE: All lines are pulled from DraftKings Sportsbook and are subject to change.
Moneyline: TCU +105; Kansas -125
Spread: Kansas -2
Total Points: 60
A matchup between teams that are winless against the spread this season (a combined 0-8) in a neutral site NFL stadium is about as much of a toss up as you can get. The Horned Frogs got demolished as a one-point favorite vs. SMU last week while the Jayhawks are coming off a four-point loss as one-point underdogs at West Virginia. This game opened with KU as a one-point favorite, but after receiving a reported 93% of money wagered the Jayhawks have ticked up slightly to this -2 position. It’s the same case for the over-under point total, with money pouring in on the over given these teams prolific offenses and struggling defenses, pushing the number up to an even 60. This would be the first time TCU would enter the game vs. Kansas as an underdog as a member of the Big 12, with the Frogs last covering in 2020 in Lawrence as 23-point favorites. For Saturday’s contest in Kansas City, both teams offensive strengths match perfectly against the other’s defensive weakness, which could lead to a high scoring affair.
Player Projections
Note: Player projections are pulled from PrizePicks and are subject to change
TCU
Josh Hoover, Pass Yards: 303.5
Savion Williams, Receiving Yards: 56.5
JP Richardson, Receiving Yards: 36.5
Jack Bech, Receiving Yards: 75.5
Cam Cook, Rush Yards: 52.5
Hoover has cleared this number by a wide margin in each game vs. FBS opponents this season and it appears to be the only way TCU can gain any positive yards this season. Jack Bech has been the breakout and top target on the season, but Richardson and Williams have also had major games this season, making it possible all three could hit the over if TCU again has to play catch up to stay in the game on Saturday. The Jayhawks sport the best cornerback duo the Frogs have faced yet this season, with Cobee Bryant & Mello Dotson set to lock things down on the outside, potentially preventing another smash spot from Hoover. As for Cook, it’s hard to believe this number is still over 50 and it’s harder to believe he gets there on Saturday after having just 59 total yards over the last two games combined, however it feels like he is due for a breakout eventually, right?
Kansas
Jalon Daniels, Pass Yards: 186.5
Jalon Daniels, Rush Yards: 29.5
Lawrence Arnold, Receiving Yards: 44.5
Luke Grimm, Receiving Yards: 60.5
Quentin Skinner, Receiving Yards: 31.5
Devin Neal, Rush Yards: 109.5
There is no number high enough for rushing yards against the TCU defense in 2024. Devin Neal is one of the best RBs in the nation and Jalon Daniels remains one of the most dynamic playmaking QBs. Neal is a -200 favorite at DraftKings to rush for 110+ yards, so hop on that number at PrizePicks while you can because Neal is sure to find ample open grass in Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday. The passing game is a different story in this one, and while the Horned Frogs have surrendered big days to big time wideouts, this game will be about an excellent rushing team up against a very bad rush defense. Daniels is averaging 156.5 pass yards per game and has not yet surpassed this number this season. Daniels is plenty talented and capable of pushing all these receivers over the number on Saturday, but there may just be little reason to air it out if Neal continues to rush over six yards per carry.

Kansas City, Kansas, becomes sister city to Concepción, Argentina, ahead of FIFA World Cup 2026

Kansas City, Kansas, is now a sister city to Concepción, in the Tucumán province of Argentina.
The connection that carries deep personal meaning for members of the Kansas City area’s Argentinian community, with less than six weeks until Lionel Messi and their national team play at Kansas City Stadium (GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium).
Kansas City, Kansas, becomes sister city to Concepción, Argentina, ahead of World Cup
The official Sister Cities Agreement was signed Wednesday at Sporting Park, in a ceremony that also served as the kickoff of a broader cultural and economic initiative connecting Argentina and Kansas.
Federico Carmona has lived in the United States for more than two decades. He spent Wednesday afternoon cheering and smiling.
“This is my dream,” Carmona said.
For Carmona, the moment was personal — a merging of the two places he calls home.

“This is a blessing,” Carmona said.
He continued, “Argentina is my heart. I was born in Argentina. I have so much passion for soccer. I used to play, my kids play. We never thought that Argentina was going to be in Kansas City. So that was a big, big surprise for us.”
Claudia Luna West, chair of the Sister Cities Association and a native of Concepción, Tucumán, was one of the driving forces behind the partnership.
“It means the world to me,” Luna West said.
KSHB/ Brian Luton
She described the pairing of the two cities as a natural collaboration — like the ingredients of a perfect recipe coming together.
“Everything collaborates to be this great thing,” Luna West said.
That recipe metaphor extended to food. The event featured the announcement of a partnership between Kansas BBQ Empanadas and Jack Stack BBQ — a culinary symbol of the two cultures meeting.
“Now, empanadas aren’t going to be just an ethnic food. They’re going to be a landmark of Kansas,” Luna West said.
Mayor/CEO of the Unified Government of Wyandotte County and KCK, Christal Watson, said the designation reflects the city’s diversity and its ability to connect with the world.
KSHB
“I think it’s important that we set a global stage on how diverse we are and how beautifully, wonderfully made we are with all the different cultures,” Watson said.
Watson said shared experiences — including food — are what bring communities together.
KSHB
“Food is a common link. Those are the things that get us engaged… those are the things that help us grow and be a better community overall,” Watson said. “We already have a flavor going on.”
Jake Reid, president and CEO of Sporting Kansas City, said the timing of the sister city announcement — with the FIFA World Cup 2026 approaching — felt right.
KSHB/ Brian Luton
“We’ve been planning this for so long. I think to have it on the doorstep now and be probably a month out is becoming very real and exciting,” Reid said. “They’re meant to be from… kind of everything we’ve got going on right now, for sure.”
For Carmona, the day was a long time coming.
“We can’t wait for all this to happen,” Carmona said.

Kansas State football player’s dad blasts sport’s current state as son departs
MANHATTAN — Kansas State will have a new kick returner come fall after Bryce Noernberg departed the team, and his dad used some colorful language in a Facebook post to announce it.
A K-State spokesperson confirmed that Noernberg left the team after the spring season. He returned 20 kicks over the last two seasons for an average of 27.8 yards per return. He scored one touchdown and also coughed up the ball multiple times.
In a Facebook post, Noernberg’s father, Scott, wrote that it had been an amazing few years in Manhattan, but then “Division I college football does what it does.”
“New head coach Colin (sic) Klein brought in all new coaches and players… paid them accordingly and (Noernberg) found himself at the bottom of the depth chart,” Scott Noernberg wrote. “Not wanting to start over again as a true walk-on freshman, he basically told them to kiss his ass!!
“Well done Bryce! I’m so proud that you stood up to the system! D1 athletics is in a very sad state, and it’s times like this that make you grow as a man!”
Also a wide receiver, Noernberg saw one offensive snap over his two seasons with the program. He was unlikely to find an offensive role for the Wildcats this year, considering the return of Jaron Tibbs and the additions of Josh Manning, Izaiah Williams, and Derrick Salley Jr. Other returning players, like Adonis Moise and Larry Porter IV, were also considered ahead of him.
His departure does leave a void at kick returner, which Noernberg wasn’t guaranteed to keep heading into the year.
