Baylor Bears vs Kansas Jayhawks prediction
The Kansas Jayhawks are the better, more talented team, and they’re undefeated at home, so it’s not a surprise to see them as decent sized favorites. However, this line isn’t showing much respect toward Baylor. The Baylor Bears are one of the best offensive teams in the country that’s capable of beating anybody anywhere any given night, and they’ve been even with Kansas in past meetings, which includes splitting the last 8 meetings. You’re not going to get Baylor as this big of a dog often for the rest of the season. Give me Baylor and the points.
