Kansas football picks, predictions: How many wins for Jayhawks in 2025 Big 12 season?

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.

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)

Police chase ends in injury crash early Wednesday in southeast Kansas

INDEPENDENCE, Kan. (WIBW) – An early-morning police chase on Wednesday came to an end when the vehicle being pursued crashed out in Montgomery County in southeast Kansas, officials said.

The crash was reported at 2:48 a.m. Wednesday at the south junction of US-75 and US-400 highways. The location was about six miles north of Independence.

According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, a 2006 Infiniti M35 four-door sedan was headed south on US-75 as it fled from law enforcement officers.

The Infinit’s driver failed to yield at the stop sign at the US-75 and US-400 highway junction and traveled across US-75 at a high rate of speed.

The car then left the roadway to the east, where it struck a signpost and a fence before coming to rest off the east side of the roadway.

The Infiniti’s driver, Darrius B.S. Scott, 26, of Independence, was transported to Wilson Medical Center for treatment of suspected minor injuries. The patrol said Scott was wearing his seat belt.

Additional details weren’t immediately available.

Kansas City, Kansas, homeowners capitalize on World Cup with streamlined short-term rental licensing process

Kansas City, Kansas, homeowners capitalize on World Cup with streamlined short-term rental licensing process

Kansas City, Kansas, is making it easier for homeowners to get short-term rental permits as the city prepares to host the FIFA World Cup 2026 matches this summer.

The Unified Government loosened its short-term rental requirements ahead of the World Cup and launched a new digital licensing system starting in February.

With three weeks left before the World Cup begins, about 10 applications remain under review out of more than 70 applications for short-term rentals.

Kalin Callewaert is a real estate agent navigating the process for the first time.

She received her special use permit from the Unified Government a week ago.

“The short-term rental situation was outside of my comfort zone,” Callewaert said. “This was just a really good opportunity because it’s supposed to bring more volume.”

Now that her property has been approved, Callewaert can begin marketing it — though she has some uncertainty about demand.

“What I’m hearing in the community is that there’s not as much traffic as what they were initially anticipating,” Callewaert said. “So I don’t know, I just have to hope for the best.”

She says that could have an impact on short-term rental pricing, meaning people who rent may pay less.

KCK Mayor Christal Watson, who is also new to her role, sat down with me Tuesday afternoon.

The updated requirements were in the works before her term began, but she supports them.

“I’m still floating the newbie mayor right now,” Watson said jokingly.

She emphasized the changes are about efficiency, not weakening oversight.

“Not so much in laxing it so they’re taking advantage of our policies, but just doing it in a manner that expedites the process,” Watson said.

The hosting period goes from May 4, 2026, until July 31, 2026.
