Oklahoma State vs Kansas Free Pick
Scott Morris | January 27, 2020
Tonight at 9PM ET at the Gallagher-Iba Arena in Oklahoma, the 16-3 Jayhawks will take on the the 10-9 Cowboys. The line for this game was pushed out at Kansas -9 but has since been bet down to Kansas -7. The total sits at 136 points.
In Kansas’ last outing they pulled off a six point win against Tennessee. Devin Dodson led the team with 22 points and the seven-footer Udoka Azubuike scored 18 and nabbed 11 rebounds. Kansas has been playing good basketball since losing to Baylor five games ago. The Jayhawks are on a four-game win streak which includes wins over Texas, Oklahoma, K State and the aforementioned Tennessee. The Jayhawks average 76 PPG on offense and allow just 60.
Oklahoma State is having another mediocre year. Before Saturday’s win at Texas A&M, the Cowboys had lost 6 in a row. They are into the meat of their schedule and basketball in the Mid-west ain’t easy. The Cowboys average just 67 PPG on offense and allow 65 PPG. OK State is still looking for the star player to emerge and had high hopes for Lindy Waters III to take the reigns. He is averaging just 12 PPG this year.
Head to head Kansas has won 6 of the last ten meeting between these two teams. But OK State holds the ATS advantage at 6-4. Here are some trends:
- Oklahoma State is 1-6 ATS in its last 7 games at home
- Oklahoma State is 5-1 ATS in its last 6 games when playing at home against Kansas
- Oklahoma State is 4-2 SU in its last 6 games when playing at home against Kansas
The Cowboys definitely seem to step up the plate when it comes to taking on Kansas. I think this is why you saw early sharp action move this line two points.
This line would/should only be 7 or 8 points if it were on neutral ground but its at OK State and they will be pumped. They think they can beat Kansas outright. The Cowboys are getting 7 points at home and have a distinct ATS trend going in their direction. Take the Cowboys of OK ST plus the points. Looking for a place to bet this pick? Look no further.
