Kansas and Duke are both undefeated; and yes this is football, not basketball. Coach Mike Elko and Coach Lance Leipold have rejuvenated their teams and look to start 4-0 for the first time in a while. Kansas is coming off an impressive win against Houston, beating the Cougars by 18 points, while Duke took care of Noth Carolina A&T at home. Below are the Mike Farrell Sports Staff picks for this week four matchup.

Mike Farrell- Kansas

Kansas should continue to roll under Lance Liepold, and I expect a dominant win for the Jayhawks against a solid Duke team.

Cory Lemer- Kansas

The home crowd in Lawrence should propel the Jayhawks to a 4-0 start.

Matt Perkins- Kansas

In a battle of surprising 3-0 starts by basketball powerhouses, I'm taking the Jayhawks. Kansas has too much offensive firepower.

Timothy Bailey- Kansas

Here we are in the Football NIT. Kansas and Duke are 3-0. What the? Jayhawks can score like a basketball team this year, so I'll take them 45-35.

Unnamed source- Kansas

I believe the Jayhawks are the better team. At home, with a sold-out crowd, and with a team that plays effective complementary football, Kansas looks to be at its best in over a decade. Jalon Daniels and Riley Leonard are an underrated QB matchup. Duke may also be good this year, but I think this will be the Kansas football coming out party. Rock Chalk, give me the Jayhawks 34-31.
