The Jayhawks have lost 15 straight home games and they still have not named a starting QB for this game. Dayne Crist, who has 7 INT and only 3 TD, was yanked in Kansas’ last game and backup Michael Cummings came in and led the team to 2 TD’s. The Jayhawks do not have a good passing offense and that will likely continue since the Sooners have a solid pass defense ranked 11th in the nation.

For the Jayhawks to have any chance to pull off the big upset they will need a good game from their rushing offense led by RB James Sims, who has rushed for over 100 yards in each of his last 2 games. Oklahoma ranks 40th in the nation defending the run and if they can shut down Sims this game may get ugly. [soliloquy id=”82219″]

Oklahoma has a well-balanced offense led by QB Landry Jones, who has passed for 1,353 yards with 9 TD. He has a great WR corps led by Kenny Stills and will be facing a Kansas pass defense that ranks 69th in the nation, but was decent last week in the 6-point loss to Oklahoma State.

RB Damien Williams had a huge game in the big win over Texas rushing for 167 yards with 1 TD. He and the Sooners may have success running the ball in this Big 12 game, as Kansas only ranks 98th in the nation defending the run.

Kansas has not beaten Oklahoma since way back in 1997 and in the last 7 games between the 2 teams the Sooners have won by an average of 22.7 points per game.

In some betting trends for this Big 12 game Kansas is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 conference games, 3-12-1 ATS in their last 16 road games, and they have an Under record of 5-1 in their last 6 games.

Oklahoma is 11-5 ATS in their last 16 home games, 5-2 ATS vs. a team with a losing record, and they have an Under record of 4-1 in their last 5 home games.

Jason’s Pick: I think Oklahoma will easily win this game, but Kansas has not thing to lose and they will cover the huge spread by making a few big plays on offense.
