\"The<\/a>
The Kansas Jayhawks have won 22-straight conference openers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Kansas will try to bounce back from a 61-57 setback to the San Diego State Aztecs as 10.5-point home favorites last Saturday, while going UNDER the betting total for the first time in four contests.\u00a0 The Jayhawks have won 22-straight conference openers dating back to the 1991-92 season, with 12 of those coming on the road, which is important to consider when making your NCAA basketball picks.\u00a0 Offensively, the team is averaging 77.7 points per game, while out-rebounding foes by an average of 6.3 boards a contest.\u00a0 Kansas is 3-2 SU and 2-3 ATS as road favorites of 3.5 to 6 points the last two-plus seasons.<\/p>\n

The Jayhawks are led on the offensive end by freshman guard Andrew Wiggins, who is averaging 15.8 points a contest.\u00a0 Since 2006, Kansas has won 10 of the last 11 meetings, including four of the last five affairs in Lloyd Noble, which can\u2019t be ignored when looking over the NCAA basketball odds.\u00a0 Defensively, the team has held every opponent under 50 percent this season, with the bench outscoring its opponents in 10 of 13 affairs.<\/p>\n

Oklahoma picked up an 88-85 victory over the Texas Longhorns as 6.5-point road underdogs last time out, while going OVER the betting total for the fourth time in five contests.\u00a0 The Sooners have five players averaging in double figures, with senior forward Cameron Clark leading the way at 17.7 points a contest\u2014ranking him third in the Big 12 in scoring.\u00a0 It\u2019s important to point out that the program has used the same starting lineup in every game this season.\u00a0 Oklahoma is 1-2 SU and 2-1 ATS as home underdogs of 3.5 to 6 points the last two-plus seasons.<\/p>\n

The Sooners have four players that have already scored more points through 14 games this year than they did all of last season.\u00a0 Oklahoma entered its last affair averaging 7.4 3-point makes per game, but it managed to knock down 13 of 28 attempts in Austin.\u00a0 In the first eight games during the 2013-14 campaign, the squad was out-rebounded by an average of 0.7 boards per contest, but it has won that battle by 9.7 in its last six affairs.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Sooners due to the home team covering the number in four of the last five meetings in this series.<\/p>\n
