Monday's Best College Basketball Bets: Kansas vs. Colorado
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Kansas (-6.5) @ Colorado (+6.5) | O/U 140.5 (-105/-115)
Colorado is in last place in the Big 12, the only team in the conference with fewer than four wins in league play. Luckily for the Buffaloes, they do not face Kansas directly off its worst loss in the Bill Self era (91-57 to BYU), as the Jayhawks took their frustrations out on Oklahoma State (a 96-64 win) in between.
Despite the bounce-back, I am still fading the Jayhawks, who get to the free throw line at one of the lowest rates in the country. Kansas also ranks 130th in three-point shooting percentage and is just seventh in league play in adjusted offensive efficiency.
As bad as Colorado is, it is still 4-3 ATS against ranked opponents this season. I do not trust Kansas having to go play in altitude on short rest.
Pick: Colorado +6.5 (-112)
