Kansas vs Brown Prediction
The Kansas Jayhawks obviously have the horses to blow the doors off, but they’re just 5-5 ATS on the season, and they can have issues at times defensively. The Brown Bears shoot the ball well and are coming off three straight wins in the underdog role. Brown has covered 6 of its last 8 games overall. Also, a potential look ahead spot for Kansas with West Virginia on deck. Lot of points. I’ll take a shot with the Brown Bears and the points.
