Kansas @ Kansas State – Winning College Basketball Picks Against The Spread

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

The pros at FiveStarPick.com are looking forward to tonight’s Top 25 matchup between the Kansas Jayhawks and the Kansas State Wildcats.  Las Vegas sportsbooks list Kansas as 3.5-point road favorites.  The last time Kansas St. was in this situation, it knocked off then number one Texas, so the Wildcats will be looking to make it two straight home wins over top five teams this season.  Big wins like the one over Texas usually lead to big letdown games.  It was no different for Kansas State as they then suffered a home loss against Oklahoma St., but they came back and defeated the 24th ranked Baylor Bears on Tuesday by two.

The Jayhawks have won 25 of the last 26 games played in Manhattan and this is arguably one of the best Kansas teams ever to step foot in the Wildcat Arena. Kansas won its first rivalry game this week as it easily took out Missouri on Monday night to extend its home court winning streak to a national best 54 games. This will be the first quality road opponent since its first and only loss of the season at Tennessee three weeks ago. A victory here likely puts the Jayhawks back into the number one spot in the polls. Balance and depth have been the catalyst for Kansas through 20 games, nine different players have led the team in steals, seven in points and six in assists. The Jayhawks rank in the top three in all but three Big XII statistical categories.

The Wildcats are an attacking team that averages 15.8 offensive rebounds per game and they go to the free throw line 33.8 times per game (#1 in the nation). The Jayhawks meanwhile are sixth in the nation in rebounding margin and they allow only 19.2 free throw attempts by the opposition per game. Kansas also has a huge edge in assist/turnover ratio, 1.47 to 0.97.  Something’s gotta give tonight and FiveStarPick.com has the answer.

College Football Pick Of The Day – Kansas @ South Florida – Who Covers The Spread

College Football Pick Of The Day - Kansas @ South Florida - Who Covers The Spread

After going a disappointing 1-1 on Thursday night college football, FiveStarPick.com is looking forward to a win in tonight’s matchup between the Kansas Jayhawks and the South Florida Bulls.  In 2007, Kansas won 12 of 13 games, including a 24-21 victory over VA Tech in the Orange Bowl.   In addition, the Jayhawks went an impressive 11-1 against the spread.

Las Vegas sportsbooks opened USF as a 6-point favorite with the total set at 53.  As of this morning, most books had the Bulls as a 3 ½-point home chalk. Kansas (2-0 SU, 1-1 ATS) is at +140 on the money line (risk $100 to win $140) and USF (2-0 SU, 0-1 ATS) is at -155 on the money line (risk $155 to win $100). 

Kansas was a road underdog only once last season, winning 30-24 at Kansas St. as a three-point dog. As for USF, it went 5-1 straight up and 4-1 against the spread at home in 2007. The Bulls went 3-1 ATS as home favorites last year and are 14-7 ATS as home favorites since 2001.  These schools have met only once when KU won 13-7 as a 3 ½-point home favorite in 2006.
