How to make Arizona vs. Kansas picks

SportsLine’s model has simulated Arizona vs. Kansas 10,000 times and is going Under on the total (153.5 points). Just one power conference team in the nation has leaned towards the Under more often than Kansas, which has seen the Under go 16-7. When facing teams that average over 72 points, as does Arizona at 89.3 ppg, the Under is 8-1 in Jayhawks games. Meanwhile, Arizona has seen its last two games overall go under, in addition to five of its last six fail to reach the total.

Even with the Wildcats’ potency on the offensive end, their defense is their strongest unit. Arizona is second in the nation in defensive rating and allows the eighth-lowest field goal percentage in Division I. Kansas star Darryn Peterson is projected to be held under his season average as the Under hits 55% of the time.

The model also says one side of the spread hits over 50% of the time. You can only see that pick at SportsLine.
