Week 1 is in the books for the Kansas football team, which resulted in a 24-17 win for the first game of the Les Miles era.
Perhaps more importantly, though, we are now one week in on this year’s over/under prop bet series. Every week, sports editor Matt Tait and I will record a podcast featuring five different over/under prop bets for the upcoming week.
In addition, fans are encouraged to participate by voting in the polls on my personal Twitter account every Thursday. You can listen to our thoughts on the latest prop bets by checking out [this week’s podcast][1].
Last week’s prop bets involved KU’s total rushing yards, turnovers forced, how many quarterbacks will play, total receptions by the team’s leading receiver and the total score. After Week 1, I am 4-1 on these prop bets while our esteemed sports editor is just 2-3. Based on the poll results, Twitter went 3-2 in the opening week.
Keep up the lead on Matt Tait by participating in the polls on Twitter. I have included them in this blog as well.
