01/27/2007 - Lawrence, KS (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Two teams at opposite ends of the Big 12 standings meet this afternoon in Lawrence, as the eighth-ranked Kansas Jayhawks host the Colorado Buffaloes in conference action from the Allen Fieldhouse.
The Jayhawks are sitting in a four-way tie atop the Big 12 at 4-1. The team distanced itself from its only league loss of the season, a 69-64 setback at Texas Tech, with an 82-56 pasting of Baylor in Waco on Wednesday.
The Buffaloes have just one conference win in six tries and have dropped two straight games and five of their last six overall. The team was home on Wednesday, but suffered a 14-point loss to Missouri.
Kansas holds a 111-39 advantage in the all-time series with Colorado and has won seven straight meetings coming into this contest.
When a team is averaging just 68.2 ppg and allowing a little more than 10 points more per outing (78.8 ppg), it isn't hard to figure out why wins are hard to come by. The Buffs are shooting a mere .403 from the floor, with the woes continuing from long range as well (.278). Richard Roby is without a doubt, the team's top option at the offensive end, averaging 16.7 ppg. He is followed in the scoring column by Xavier Silas and Dominique Coleman, who add 11.3 and 10.8 ppg, respectively. In the loss to the Tigers this week, Silas led three players in double digits with 16 points. Freshman Jeremy Williams scored a career-high 15 points, while Roby notched 11, despite shooting just 4-of-12 from the field.
Despite being one of the youngest teams in the conference, Kansas is getting the job done at both ends of the court and is enjoying a +17.3 scoring margin. The team is shooting .485 from the floor, leading to 76.8 ppg. Defensively, Kansas is allowing a mere 59.5 ppg, on well under 40 percent shooting (.372). Sophomore Brandon Rush leads four Jayhawks in double figures with 13.7 ppg. Fellow sophomore Mario Chalmers and freshman Darrell Arthur are tied for second with 11.5 ppg, while yet another sophomore, Julian Wright adds 11.4 ppg, while leading the team on the boards (8.0 rpg). Kansas made light work of Baylor this week, as the team led by 22 points at halftime. KU shot 50 percent from the floor and just over 47 percent from behind the arc (8-of-17) in the game. Rush led the way with 18 points and eight rebounds. Wright added 16 points and six boards, while freshman Sherron Collins came off the bench to tally 13 points in 22 minutes of work.

“You play to win the game!”
Those are the words of notoriously intense head coach Herman Edwards. Unfortunately, from a bettors’ perspective, most coaches don’t feel that way about the NFL preseason. August is a time to evaluate young players, finalize the depth chart and pray your star players stay healthy.
The trick to making money during the exhibition schedule is identifying coaches – like Edwards – who can’t stand losing even when there's nothing on the line.
The New York Jets betting won 15 of 21 preseason games and went 14-7 against the spread (ATS) during Edwards’s five-year tenure with the club. In his first season as the Kansas City Chiefs field boss, the team improved from 0-4 to 2-2.
Identifying win-a-holics like Edwards is a good start if you plan betting the preseason – even though most say you shouldn’t ... but what the hell do they know anyway?
Here’s a brief rundown of two teams that have a habit of winning during the second-stringers’ season, and another club that has a good chance of exceeding this year.
Playing in the media hub of North America can be stressful but the press can’t write anything negative about the way Tom Coughlin’s boys play in the preseason. The Giants won and covered all four games last summer, improving their record to 7-1 both straight up (SU) and against the spread over the last two years.
Coughlin has shown he’s not afraid to give his starters more time in the second preseason game than most of his colleagues, no doubt one of the reasons his team has been so dominant.
Bettors can count on America’s team early on. The Cowboys are 14-6 both SU and ATS since 2002 in warm-up contests. Former coach Bill Parcells, the coach of the team the last four years, has an intimidating, in-your-face presence – surely a reason Dallas has had so much early success.
The Big Tuna won’t be strolling the sidelines with looks of disgust, but new coach Wade Phillips will be anxious to make a good first impression for owner Jerry Jones.
Dallas plays the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos before things get serious. They then face the Houston Texans in their third contest (the game starters see most game time) and finish off with the Minnesota Vikings.
Expect a Dallas team able to walk away with another 3-1 preseason record.
This team scored a league-worst 12 offensive touchdowns last season, so the rookies and veterans each have something to prove. There’s a bounty of first-unit jobs up for grabs and plenty of bodies competing for those slots.
First-time head coach Lane Kiffin will be eager to impress an owner who employs the philosophy, “Just win, baby!”
The 32-year-old Kiffin has to command respect from a locker room full of players older than him. All of these factors should lead to purpose in preseason.
Don’t forget: before playing like a team that belonged in NFL Europe, Oakland went 4-1 (both SU and ATS) in exhibition games.
