Kansas Jayhawks Betting Trends

AAC opponents tend to go OVER the total in games against Kansas; however their November record (3-17 SU) and Week 13 matchups (0-15 SU) remain cause for concern.
Cincinnati Bearcats Betting Trends
The Bearcats have had a rough season when it comes to betting trends, going just 2-7 against the spread over their last nine games and 1-8 straight up. Home game performance is especially worrying: going 0-5 straight up at home over their last five. On the bright side, November proved fruitful (16-4 SU) while their trend in Week 13 games tends to go UNDER.
Kansas Jayhawks vs. Cincinnati Bearcats 11/25/2023 Betting Picks
According to statistics and trends, the Kansas Jayhawks appear to be a safer bet in this matchup. Their offensive prowess led by Devin Neal and Jason Bean should prove sufficient against Cincinnati Bearcats defense. Betting trends also favor Kansas, despite recent struggles in November and Week 13 games.
However, the handpicked favorites Cincinnati’s strong November history and potential for upset, the game might be closer than the odds suggest. Bettors might find value in exploring prop bets, particularly focusing on individual player performances like rushing yards for Neal or passing yards for Bean. The over/under of 57.5 also presents an interesting dilemma, given Kansas’ tendency to go OVER and Cincinnati’s inclination to go UNDER in similar games.
