We don't subscribe to any one single handicapping methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with ones approach is the best way to secure profits over the longterm. Sometimes we keep it simple, while other times we'll take into account a bunch of different factors, like motivation, scheduling and significant injuries. Recognizing classic "spot bets" is something we always do as well, IE: the "look ahead" spot, the "let down" spot and the "trap" game. The actual contestants on the field of play rarely enter into our equation when making selections, unless it's a Top 3 player like a LeBron James or Aaron Rodgers etc. One set of criteria which we almost always use when making our decisions, are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics. Sometimes these stats can be overrated and other times they help foreshadow the outcome of a contest.

This particular play is based on a few different factors:

Surging Jayhawks: Kansas comes in off a 76-72 win at No. 3 Oklahoma, a victory which has vaulted it into a share of first place in the Big 12 with No. 10 West Virginia. Jayhawks' coach Bill Self isn't letting his team get ahead of itself: "You can tell I'm excited, but this is about as much fun as I've had coaching the game in a while," Self said. "It was a big, big, big-time game and a huge win. Of course, it sets up a rematch game on Monday. It doesn't do anything unless we take care of business the rest of the way," he added. "We still got a lot of hard games left. It's early in the conference race." Kansas would beat Oklahoma last month as well, a 109-106 triple OT thriller and then the team would go just 3-3 afterwards, including a bitter 86-67 road loss vs. these very Cowboys. The revenge factor obviously comes into play here as well. Note that the Jayhawks have averaged 77.5 PPG and 50.3 percent shooting over their last six games.

Poor defensive play: The Cowboys rank near the bottom of the Big 12 by allowing 69.7 PPG in league play.

ATS statistics: Note that Oklahoma State has seen the total go OVER the number in both games that it's played this year after a victory over a conference rival and in three of five after allowing 60 points or less, while Kansas has seen the total sail above the posted number in in its last six games as a home fav of 12.5 to 15 points.

The bottom line: There's no way the Jayhawks will be looking past the Cowboys today and with the visitors forced to match pace throughout, all signs do indeed point to the OVER as the savvy move in this contest.
