Oklahoma vs Kansas Betting Prediction
The Sooners' offense isn't very strong, and they've recently performed worse, barely scoring more than 65 points per game in their last three contests. They don't rebound the ball as well as the Jayhawks; therefore, they won't have many more chances to score when they play them.
They were also sloppy with the ball in their last three games, which will give the Jayhawks, who average more than 10 steals per game at home, easy scoring opportunities. Pick the Jayhawks to cover the spread because they consistently limit opponents to 63 points or fewer at home and won't have any trouble containing the Sooners' offense.
Pick: Kansas Jayhawks -9.5 (-110)
