someone try to convince me not to bet the house on KU tonight. Bill self does not lose back to back games!! Kansas has more talent. More experience. Kansas is in my opinion a top 10 team. Texas is bad. They just got dogged by Georgia. What am I missing? The big 12 still goes through Lawrence, Kansas. Give me more talent and a hall of fame coach with a pissed off team vs Shaka smart any day of the week. Let’s ride
Gotta agree. Kansas will come out determined to get rid of the bad taste of the Kentucky loss. Kansas has been playing a lot of close games recently and so -1 is really attractive and should rise by gametime tonight. Other than playing at home, Texas does not have any advantages. Sometimes it's best not to out-think yourself.
come on man. With a name like KC 4 Life I imagine you follow this team closely as do I. You should know that a four guard line up took KU to the final four last year? Yes the 4 guards last year were a lot better, but the style of play itself is not the problem. As far as talent there's one player on Texas that would start on Kansas. Mitch lightfoot would be the second most talented player on Texas and he doesnt see the floor for KU?
I need some help here because I don't understand your logic. 
So, if I want to bet Kansas, instead of taking them at PLUS points, I should wait until they're minus points? That makes ABSOLUTELY no sense to me. Unless you're trying to say that the line movement of making Kansas a favorite "indicates" that it is the "correct" play? Where if it's a favorite, it's not the "correct/winning" play?
He isn't implying that taking them ML is better than +1, he is advising the OP wait to watch the line movement for indication of where the smart money is going. Since the line opened favoring KU and actually flipped to +2, it shows significant money is coming in on TX.
Yeah, I totally forgot to include the line movement due to the "smart money theory" but then again, how can you/I distinguish what "smart" money is? It could easily be an onslaught of "public" money that moves the line back to Kansas being a favorite. I mean, there's no website distinguishing the difference between smart and public money, that's impossible. If anything, a website would just show the number of bets on a particular side also with the amount of money on a side but can't differentiate between "smart" and public money. The only way you could distinguish "sharp" money is if you had an inside source actually working at the physical/online book telling you "Hey, Joe/Jane the respected Sharp, placed "x" amount of dollars on team "x" or account "x" placed a huge wager on team "x"." Also, you guys do realize that the majority of recreational bettors place their bets like an hour or less before tip off? That can easily cause a shift in the line. To sum it up, I say if you want to bet Kansas, bet it now when it's plus points / positive moneyline.. 
Kansas is a good team to include in an 8 point teaser with the line at +1. If Texas wins, it is unlikely to be by double digits. Look at their schedule. They can't beat anyone by double digits. This is a team that "gravitates to 0." They play up to competition and down to competition.
You got teams like Michigan, Virginia, Kentucky, Clemson (who is off to a bad start but should handle Pitt at home), who are all around -9 in great spots to teaser that with. Or Wisky who is getting 3 at Nebraska who is playing awful basketball at the moment. Just a piece of advice. I don't bet straight against the spread that often, but my strategy is pretty efficient.
With that being said if I had to pick this game ATS I'm taking Kansas who is a much better offensive team.
