Trends

Kansas is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games. The under is 7-2 in Kansas’ last 9 Saturday games. Texas is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games and 7-19 ATS in their last 26 games following an ATS win. The over is 9-2-1 in Texas’ last 12 home games. The home team is 3-0-1 ATS in these two teams last 4 head to head meetings.

Pick

This should be a great game between two top-10 teams to close the Big 12 regular season, but Texas has struggled in recent games. The Longhorns have lost three of their last five games, including their last two games against TCU at Baylor. Kansas has won seven games in a row and is looking like one of the best teams in the country. Texas is actually the better shooting team and I think the home court advantage will give them the edge in this game. I like the Longhorns here.
