For Kansas, they’ve been a surprise to many Online Basketball Betting experts, who pegged this team to struggle after losing three starters off last year’s team. Still, the Jayhawks are 27-2 this year, and can clinch a share of the Big XII title with a win Thursday.

And really for Kansas, what it comes down to is essentially no one in the country that is better offensively than this group. The Jayhawks are as efficient as they come, as they rank No. 1 in the country in field goal percentage, shooting a blistering 54 percent from the field, and are No. 4 in scoring at over 83 points per game. It doesn’t hurt that their two best players- twins Marcus and Markieff Morris- both shoot over 60 percent from the field, and combine for over 30 points and 17 boards per game.

As for Texas A&M, well, the only hope they have to keep things close in this Online Basketball Betting matchup is to play solid defense and keep the score low. Luckily that’s what this team does best, as they’re amongst the best nationally defensively allowing just 60 points per game.

The problem of course is their offense, which is amongst the worst in the conference. As good as A&M is on defense, they’re averaging just 69.4 points per game on offense, and shooting only 44 percent from the field as a team. While that might get things done against a lot of foes, it could be problematic against a Kansas team that puts up points in bunches. To their credit the Aggies have been better of late, scoring 67 of more points in five of their last seven games.

Unfortunately those games were against Big XII also ran’s, and not against an elite team like Kansas. Which is why we’ve simply got to take the Jayhawks as our Online Basketball Betting pick.

Understand that as good as Kansas’ record indicates they are, they’ve been even better of late, going 9-1 straight up in their last 10 games, and covering the spread in seven of them. And really, it all comes back to their previously mentioned offense. Kansas has scored at least 80 points in all nine of those wins, and 85 in seven of them. This team isn’t just a strong offensive team, they’re great.

Simply put, Texas A&M doesn’t score enough points, and won’t be able to stop Kansas from doing the same Wednesday night. It’s enough to make the Jayhawks your Online Basketball Betting pick.
