Kansas football picks, predictions: How many wins for Jayhawks in 2025 Big 12 season?
Notre Dame fan Mike Golic Sr. gushes over Marcus Freeman’s coaching style
Nobody knows Notre Dame better than Mike Golic Sr. He talks to Lorenzo Reyes about the exciting college football season, and his partnership with Dexcom.
The Kansas Jayhawks ended the 2024 season with some momentum, beating three ranked Big 12 teams in the last four weeks of the season.
Will that momentum carry over this season?
How many wins will the Kansas football team get in 2025?
Here’s an early game-by-game win-loss prediction for the Jayhawks for their 2025 schedule, beginning with a home game against Fresno State on Aug. 23 and concluding with a home matchup against Utah on Nov. 29.
The Jayhawks will also host Wagner, West Virginia, Cincinnati, Kansas State and Oklahoma State this season. They will play at Missouri, UCF, Texas Tech, Arizona and Iowa State, looking to improve on their 5-7 overall record and 4-5 Big 12 record in 2024.
College football championship odds: Big 12 | Big Ten | SEC | ACC | National title | Heisman Trophy odds
Aug. 23: Fresno State at Kansas
The Bulldogs went 6-7 last season. You can bet the Jayhawks won’t take them lightly after losing to UNLV last season, 23-20.
Game prediction: Kansas 27, Fresno State 17
Kansas record prediction: 1-0
Aug. 30: Wagner at Kansas
Wagner, an FCS school, went 4-8 last season. If Kansas can’t defeat it soundly in 2025 the Jayhawks could be in for a long season.
Game prediction: Kansas 30, Wagner 13
Kansas record prediction: 2-0
Sept. 6: Kansas at Missouri
The good news for Kansas? This isn’t a conference game. Missouri is coming off a 10-3 season and went 7-0 at home in 2024.
Game prediction: Missouri 20, Kansas 13
Kansas record prediction: 2-1
Sept. 20: West Virginia at Kansas
The Jayhawks lost to West Virginia in their first Big 12 game of last season, 32-28. But that game was in Morgantown. Kansas will start Big 12 play with a win.
Game prediction: Kansas 31, West Virginia 21
Kansas record prediction: 3-1 (1-0 Big 12)
Sept. 27: Cincinnati at Kansas
Will the Bearcats be able to stop the Jayhawks? Will they be able to put up enough points to stay with Kansas? We have doubts.
Game prediction: Kansas 38, Cincinnati 20
Kansas record prediction: 4-1 (2-0 Big 12)
Oct. 4: Kansas at UCF
The Jayhawks were just 1-5 away from home last season. Those road woes will return in a loss at UCF.
Game prediction: UCF 27, Kansas 24
Kansas record prediction: 4-2 (2-1 Big 12)
Oct. 11: Kansas at Texas Tech
After falling at UCF, Kansas has the unenviable task of trying to beat Texas Tech in Lubbock. Easier said than done.
Game prediction: Texas Tech 38, Kansas 27
Kansas record prediction: 4-3 (2-2 Big 12)
Oct. 25: Kansas State at Kansas
Kansas State got the better of Kansas last season in Manhattan, Kansas, 29-27. Something tells us that the tables will turn in Lawrence, Kansas in 2025.
Game prediction: Kansas 30, Kansas State 27
Kansas record prediction: 5-3 (3-2 Big 12)
Nov. 1: Oklahoma State at Kansas
Kansas can’t afford a setback against the Cowboys at home if it wants to stay in the Big 12 title picture.
Game prediction: Kansas 38, Oklahoma State 27
Kansas record prediction: 6-3 (4-2 Big 12)
Nov. 8: Kansas at Arizona
The Jayhawks break through in Tucson for their first Big 12 road win of the season. It couldn’t come at a better time.
Game prediction: Kansas 38, Arizona 28
Kansas record prediction: 7-3 (5-2 Big 12)
Nov. 22: Kansas at Iowa State
There could be some big games in the Big 12 this week and this one certainly could fit the bill, with both the Jayhawks and Cyclones hoping to still be in Big 12 championship game contention.
Game prediction: Kansas 31, Iowa State 27
Kansas record prediction: 8-3 (6-2 Big 12)
Nov. 29: Utah at Kansas
Utah will be a lot better this season, but the Jayhawks will have a lot on the line in this regular-season finale at home. They’ll end the regular season with a five-game winning streak and await their postseason fate.
Game prediction: Kansas 30, Utah 21
Kansas record prediction: 9-3 (7-2 Big 12)

Woman, 68, killed Monday in head-on crash in southeast Kansas
CHEROKEE, Kan. (WIBW) – A woman died and a man was seriously injured following a head-on crash Monday afternoon in Crawford County in southeast Kansas, officials said.
The collision was reported at 2:45 p.m. Monday on US-400 highway about four miles west of Cherokee.
According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, a 2015 Nissan Altima was eastbound on US-400 when it crossed the centerline and collided head-on with a 2001 Dodge Dakota pickup truck that was westbound on the highway.
The Nissan then spun counterclockwise and came to rest in the roadway, while the Dodge truck left the roadway to the right, rolled once and came to rest on its wheels facing south in the north ditch.
The driver of the Dodge pickup truck, Carol S. Sharp, 68, of Altoona, was transported to Mercy Hospital in Joplin, Missouri, where she was pronounced dead. The patrol said Sharp was wearing her seat belt.
The driver of the Nissan, identified as Eric M. Meyers, 38, of Des Moines, Iowa, was transported to Mercy Hospital in Pittsburg with serious injuries. The patrol said Meyers was wearing his seat belt.
Both drivers were alone in their vehicles, the patrol said.
