Bet Sports Online – #2 Kansas Figures to Be Huge Road Fave vs. Oklahoma on Saturday

The #2 Kansas Jayhawks, a likely over double-digit bet sports online road fave on Saturday, have quickly become the en vogue team to grab the #2 overall spot in the Big Dance, the awesome Duke Blue Devils are #1, should they continue to win.

KU faces a team that they should absolutely beat on February 26th. The Oklahoma Sooners are wondering what happened to their program. I’ll tell you what happened, Sooners. A dude named Blake Griffin went to the NBA. Will Oklahoma call up Griffin’s ghost and at least be competitive versus the terrific Kansas Jayhawks on Saturday?

The bet sports online odds makers are going to have a tough time coming up with a suitable wagering line in this game. Kansas is obviously vastly superior to the Oklahoma Sooners, yet the Sooners have a decent record against the spread at home this season. Could Oklahoma possibly keep it close versus Kansas?

The answer to that question depends on what you believe the definition of “close” is. I hate to pull a Bill Clinton on everybody (what is the definition of sex, anyhow?), but really, if close means that OU loses by around 15 points, then, yeah, I suppose the Sooners could do that. Close is relative to who your opponent is, right?

In any case, the Kansas Jayhawks will bring one of the best offenses in the nation to the hardwood party on Saturday. The Jayhawks are ranked #1 in college hoops in field goal percentage. Rock Chalk averages 52.1% from the field per game as a team. That’s incredible. They also score close to 84 points per game. That’s equally incredible. The bet sports online odds makers will have to take those stats into account when setting the line in this game even though Oklahoma averages only 66 points per game.

What this comes down is whether or not hoops handicappers believe that Rock Chalk is going to take Oklahoma seriously on Saturday. The Jayhawks didn’t take K-State seriously on February 14th and Kansas State beat them pretty good, 84 to 68, but K-State has a dude name Jacob Pullen pulling the trigger for them. Oklahoma doesn’t have anybody close to Pullen on their squad.

I’ve got to believe that Rock Chalk absolutely demolishes the Oklahoma Sooners on February 26th. I’m going to back Kansas at up to -14 ½ point to cover the spread on Saturday.
