Kansas +4?!

Chip2369 · Feb 9, 2009

KAN are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 vs. Big 12

Underdog is 9-4-2 ATS in the last 15 meetings

I know mizzou is coming off a big win, and are playing great ball, but i think kansas is clearly the better team, and i expect them to win this game outright.

someone tell me why i shouldnt bet my grandma on this game.

Kansas is crazy good at home. They have to go to MO now to play in a big game.

Road games= Loss at Zona, Loss at MSU, Wins @ Col, Neb, ISU, and Baylor. Nothing real special there. Missouri has some good wins against USC, Cal, @ Ok St, @ Tex. Also a 4 pt loss to Xavier.

On a neutral floor I guess the thinking is Kansas would be -2 or -2.5 , home court worth 6 points, Kansas +4 or +4.5.

I like Kansas, but this is by no means a mistake line.

FWIW- this is the biggest game Mizzou has played in 5 years. It will certainly be the loudest game in the brief history of Mizzou Arena. Also, some of Mizzou's players have came out and said that this game is more important than playing for the National Championship.

Kansas should have lost to NE in lincoln. Big 12 dogs have been barking loud lately. Take a look. Laying points in this league is not a good idea. I like KU here. Mizz looked ok vs tx but not that great. TX a struggling team. KU looks square but its the Jayhawks or no play for sure.

You can throw out current stats...back when MU sucked this game often came down to the wire. If you dont live in this area you have no idea how much these two teams HATE each other. MU brings their best game, it seems like, when KU comes to town. I live and breathe KU sports but I can see MU winning this game. Kansas has played the bottom of the barrel in the Big 12 this year so the stats are somewhat skewed. There are better games on the board to bet...I think Ill just watch this one.

i like mizzou in this game, team is a real sleeper in this conference and ku is overdue for a loss, line is a shade higher then i would have liked to see though.

bigtendominator · Feb 9, 2009

I can remember many times when Mizzou should have been beatend to a pulp even at home by KU and they would still pull one out.

I don't think people realize what this rivalry is only because these are not 2 densely populated states, but the hatred is every bit the same as UNC Duke.

This is going to be a tight game, but probably lean towards the over as both teams can score and I expect it to come down to the end. This is really a game that can go either in terms of the number, with that being said, I like MU at home to get the win.

Mizzou is playing well and KU has gotten fat on the lower half of the Big 12 and honestly speaking outside of Norman these are the 2 best teams in the Big 12.

I have followed both teams for the last 10+ years of my life. I am a mizzou grad so I have a bias towards them. I really like mizzou to win this game but I hate laying the points. I have a pretty strong lean on the under so that will probably be my play on this game.

This has always been a closely fought battle and mizzou has really improved this year, while KU is no where close to what they were last year. I like mizzou to win by 2 in a close but sloppy game.

since i started tracking this, road dawgs favored by 70-79% of the public are 1-5 ATS. right now 75% on KU. am waiting until closer to tip before i decide for sure, because road dawgs favored by 60-69% are 3-1. i use the numbers provided by my book only, so i don't know what the discrepency is with the others. also, what i don't like about trends is that i have a tendency to ride them straight into the shitter of the law of averages.

line is accurate.

jayhawkkyle · Feb 9, 2009

this # is about right! missouri plays their best game of the year vs. ku!

i will be on the over in the 2nd half! check the w/L record on ku this year

on 2nd half overs! i think they will both come out a bit tight! this is the biggest game all 10 starters have ever played in!

i hope ku can pull it off but if missou doesnt turn the ball over we are in some trouble here! i hope to god i am wrong but this game could get out of hand if we dont play our brest game of the year!

I think the opposite. I think Missouri is a better team at home and their style will give Kansas troubles because they're good at that full court press and 40minutes of fun.

Watching Morningstar and T Reed against the Mizzou pressure should be quite interesting.. Guard depth is a fatal weakness.

I like Mizz -4

kidman232 · Feb 9, 2009

i like the over in this game, mizzouri likes to run at home and kansas should be able to kepe up with them, plus for some reason i see overtime in this one

Chip2369 · Feb 9, 2009

KU #16 and MU #17. this game is going to be absoltely insane. i think im gonna drive to columbia for this one!

rock chalk jayhawk!!!

Chip2369 · Feb 9, 2009

think he meant the fans and students...

"People thought they heard something when Baylor was there," Lyons said in reference to the Tigers' last home game, an 89-72 victory Jan. 31, in front of the Tigers' first sellout of the season. "This means more to them than the national championship does. I know it's going to be packed."
