I recommend you lay on Texas as a +4.5 point home dog. I love the Jayhawks and believe they are the team to beat come March, but there is some concern for me and the Jayhawk nation. Kansas has not done well on the road lately losing ATS in their last 3 trips out (Colorado, Mizzou, and K State). Throw in their 1/2 point cover against Mizzou last monday and a 10 point win but ATS loss Saturday against Baylor , and my Jayhawks are 1-5 ATS in their last 6. Texas is a solid 20-4 and has one of the nation's most difficult schedules. This is the biggest game of the year and Kansas has looked flat. In a 100-90 win against Baylor on Saturday, Kansas had to work hard against a pesky Bears team that always gives Kansas fits. I see Texas pushing the ball and asking Kansas to run with them. Texas battled hard in Ames to get a big win against the Clones in one of the Big XII's toughest road venues. The emotion of playing at home and DJ Augustin and AJ Abram's success against Kansas in the past leads me to believe this game will be an instant classic. Don't be surprised if one team comes out with a double digit lead. Both have bombers and big men to get back into the game. KU plays the better defense, but no way they stop Texas in Austin. I'm excited to see this game and hate to say it, but I think you see Texas pull the upset. Take the points to be safe, but Longhorn nation should have a big win in Austin tonight on Big Monday.
