The Blue Devils are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 road games and 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games overall. The Jayhawks are 3-10 ATS in their last 13 home games and 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The under is 5-1 in Blue Devils last 6 road games. The over is 4-0 in Jayhawks last 4 non-conference games.

I’ve said the last couple of years that the Kansas Jayhawks are a team on the rise. Kansas is no longer your punching bag, as this club has a solid coach and competes. However, let’s pump the brakes a bit. Are we sure Duke isn’t good? You can argue Duke hasn’t had the toughest schedule in the world, but the Blue Devils have been impressive in their victories, they’re balanced offensively, and they have a top-25 scoring defense. This will be just the 10th time since 2014 where Kansas has been favorites of 7 or more points. Disrespectful line toward Duke. Give me the points.
