Kansas vs Oklahoma Prediction & Pick

A crushing of Alabama in late January is overshadowing what has been a disappointing season for Oklahoma. The Sooners have posted a 2-9 record in Big 12 play and their average scoring margin on the year sits at +1.0. They are an average team and are set to welcome an elite team to town today.

Kansas has had a few hiccups this season, but that hasn't stopped the Jayhawks from staying ranked in the AP Poll's top 10. Head coach Bill Self's team finds itself among the top 60 teams in points per game (76.1), shooting percentage (46.2%), total rebounds per game (37.0) and defensive efficiency.

Kansas is also 7-1 straight up in its last eight games against Oklahoma, so trust the Jayhawks here.

Final Score Prediction: Kansas: 74 | Oklahoma: 68

Kansas vs Oklahoma Best Bet

Neither one of these teams has been impressive against the spread as of late, which makes shifting gears to a certain team total a great move. Kansas has averaged a reliable 75.4 points over its last five games, while Oklahoma has allowed a ridiculous average of 78.8 points over its last five games.

Keep in mind the Sooners are also giving up 17.7 free throws per game (T-No. 178 in NCAA), while the Jayhawks are averaging 27.0 free throw attempts over their last three games. Kansas has multiple players capable of getting to the line with aggressive drives, so it should get to the 72-point mark.

Bet: Kansas Jayhawks Over 71.5 Points (-120)
