Against the spread (ATS)
Neither the market nor BetMGM is being heavily influenced by the first Kansas-West Virginia result. You can tell because the Jayhawks crushed the Mountaineers while laying only 2 points; however, WVU was actually leading at halftime of that game before it got out of hand in the second half.
WVU has been steamed up from a 1.5-point favorite on the opener to the current price. If the bookmakers and/or the market thought these teams weren’t evenly matched then Kansas would be favored on the road.
Also, aside from consecutive wins over Texas Tech and WVU in mid-December, Kansas has gotten punched in the mouth when it has stepped up in competition.
The Jayhawks’ last four losses have come against ranked competition on the road and the only cover was against No. 2 Baylor. Kansas covered by only a half-point by scoring seven points in the final 63 seconds to sneak in the backdoor.
TAKE WEST VIRGINIA -2.5 (-110) for 1 unit.
Over/Under (O/U)
I lean UNDER 141.5 (-110) for a half-unit because Kansas was lights out from three in the first game between these two and I think the Jayhawks’ 3-point shooting will regress back to their regular-season average in the second game.
Plus, since the beginning of last season, West Virginia is 8-13-1 O/U as a home favorite.
