Utah vs Kansas Prediction
Kansas it the more talented team and is going to get the nod from oddsmakers because of it, but the Jayhawks are beatable this season and have lost three of their last four road games. The Jon M. Huntsman Center is never an easy place to play, and the Utah Utes have seen 12 of their 13 wins come at home this season. Utah is still a physical team defensively, and we’ve seen recent upsets over BYU and TCU. It’s not going to always be pretty, but Utah is top-50 in defensive field goal percentage. Control the pace and defend, and Utah has a chance to make this a game. I’ll grab the points with the Utes at home.
