Trends
Kansas is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games against a team with a winning record while the over is 5-1 in their last 6 games against a team with a winning percentage above .600. TCU is 9-2-1 ATS in their last 12 home games and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games against a team with a winning road record while the under is 5-0 in their last 5 games against a team with a winning record.
Pick
I’m on the over in this one. This is a TCU team that was clearly invigorated with the return of Mike Miles Jr. but the defensive issues remain for TCU as they still gave up 75 points. I think they’ll give up points here as well, but Kansas has been involved in a few high-scoring games as well lately and I think this ends up being another high-scoring affair. Give me the over here.
