Pick

Kansas comes into this game tied for second in the Big 12 standings, but they have lost their last two games and only won their previous two games by a combined six points. Baylor started conference play very poorly, but they have rattled off four straight wins and will be at home. Kansas looked really flat for most of the game against TCU and I think it is going to be difficult for them to bounce back on the road, especially against a Baylor team that has plenty of confidence. I like Baylor in this matchup.
