Bet on BYU to Cover the Spread vs Kansas

When the Jayhawks hit the road this season, smart bettors know that they should immediately look to fade them at college basketball betting site. That strategy has proven to be worthwhile, as Kansas is both 3-6 straight up and against the spread as the away team this year.

On the other side of the court, BYU has been fantastic against the spread at home this season.

The Cougars are 9-5 against the spread while in Provo.

BYU has also just been straight-up better than Kansas in their last ten games. BYU is 7-3 straight up and 6-3-1 against the spread in their last ten. Kansas is just 5-5 straight up and 2-8 against the spread over that 10-game time frame.

The programs are heading in different directions, which means now is the time to bet on BYU -2.5 to cover the spread versus Kansas on Tuesday night.

Bet on the Under between Kansas and BYU

Another good way to bet on the game between Kansas and BYU at the Marriott Center is to bet on the under. The current total for the Big 12 matchup is set at 148.5.

The under is a good bet for the game because the over has only hit in two of Kansas’s nine road games this season.

It’s also a good bet because neither team has a particularly fast playstyle. Both teams rank outside the top 100 fastest teams this year per the adjusted luck category at KenPom. Other reasons to bet the under include that both teams has a top 75 overall defensive rating.

Because of those recent trends and stats, the under for Kansas at BYU is one of the best bets ahead of the Big 12 showdown.
