With a little less than a month before Selection Sunday and March Madness, teams, fans and the sports betting public are starting to fixate on the big tournament, “bubble” teams, etc.
As it stands, the Kansas Jayhawks are the No. 1 college basketball team in the land and the odds-on favorite at online sportsbooks to take the NCAA Championship Tournament at +150.
Colorado vs. Kansas:
The Jayhawks see action this weekend with a home game against conference rival Colorado.
Kansas has dominated the Colorado Buffaloes going 19-1 straight up in their last 20 games against them. But they are only 2-5 ATS in their last seven meetings with Colorado.
Over/Under bettors take note: The last nine times these two teams have hooked up, they have produced only 1 Over while racking up 8 Unders.
The Jayhawks have lost three straight, against the spread, the last three times they have hosted the Buffaloes.
Kentucky vs. Vanderbilt:
This Saturday’s schedule is light on head to head Top 25 matchups and the lone game that features two ranked teams doing battle features the No. 2 Kentucky Wildcats and the No. 19 Vanderbilt Commodores.
It is a key matchup not only because the two are ranked but because they sit 1-2 in the SEC East standings — Kentucky has a 10-1 conference record while Vandy is 8-2.
The Wildcats have struggled in their last nine overall games against the Commodores, dropping six of nine straight up, and they are a dismal 2-6 straight up in their last eight visits to Vanderbilt (including a four-game losing streak).
Ohio State vs. Michigan State:
A Big Ten battle between the No. 12 Ohio State Buckeyes and the No. 11 Michigan State Spartans goes Sunday.
Ohio State is still smarting from a 60-57 loss to the No. 4 Purdue Boilermakers on Wednesday night; the Buckeyes failed to cover as 4-point faves.
The game takes place in East Lansing, and the Buckeyes have struggled in their last 15 games there, with a record of 4-11 SU.
However, Ohio State’s last eight road games against the Spartans have produced a record of 6-2 ATS.
The push to March Madness is beginning, so hang on and enjoy the ride.
Have a good weekend.
