Dayne Crist, who has 7 INT and only 3 TD, was yanked in Kansas&#8217; last game and backup Michael Cummings came in and led the team to 2 TD&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>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=&#8221;82219&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jason&#8217;s Pick:<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kansas vs OU Odds &amp; Prediction Oklahoma (4-1) has won 2 straight after losing their only game of the season and after this game against Kansas (1-5) host 5th ranked Notre Dame and then hit the road to play 24th ranked Iowa State.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":193,"featured_media":24383,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[39626,324,327,45556,56806,10930,766,769,3311],"class_list":["post-56326","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ncaa-football","tag-39626","tag-college-football-odds","tag-college-football-predictions","tag-jayhawks-vs-sooners","tag-ku-jayhawks-vs-ou-sooners","tag-ku-vs-ou","tag-ncaa-football-lines","tag-ncaa-football-picks","tag-week-8"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56326","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/193"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=56326"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56326\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":56340,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56326\/revisions\/56340"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24383"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=56326"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=56326"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=56326"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
