Oklahoma is coming off an 81-51 win at home over Kansas State to improve to 10-18 on the season and 4-12 in the Big 12. The Sooners have covered the spread in four straight and sit at 13-12-1 against the spread for the season. Oklahoma is averaging 73.7 points per game on offense this season while allowing 74.1 on defense. When on the road, the Sooners are giving up 78.8 points per contest. Oklahoma lost leading scorer Jordan Woodard for the season to a knee injury. He was averaging 14.6 points per game prior to the injury. Rashard Odomes and Kameron McGusty have been leading the team with over 10 points per game.
Kansas has not been a reliable team when it comes to covering the spread. Lately the Jayhawks have been doing it, but they tend to play down to their competition at home, especially as a big favorite. While the Sooners aren’t one for upsets, they have covered in four straight, including two as a double-digit dog. I am going to stick with my hunch on Kansas that it just can’t blow out bad teams.
