DraftKings · as of July 8, 2026

Kansas defeated UCF 27–20 in a one-score game. Kansas covered by 3.0; Game went Under by 6.5. The market closed at Kansas -4.0 and the Blue Chip model made it UCF -1.0 - a gap of 5.0 points toward UCF, of which 3.8 points were beyond the model's measured factors. That was an information gap - the market pricing something the model does not carry - rather than a measured edge.
