Why the Kansas Jayhawks are a good bet -16?

Kansas fought the Duke Blue Devils to the wire in their first game of the season. Duke ended up a -1 ½ favorite even though Kansas opened as the favorite. The Jayhawks provided a great performance. If not for 26 turnovers, the Jayhawks would have beaten the Blue Devils. All Rock Chalk must do is lower their turnovers on Friday night. If they do that, they’ll beat NC Greensboro and cover the spread.

UNC Greensboro vs Kansas Final Betting Analysis

UNC Greensboro does not matchup well with the Jayhawks. Kansas has a dynamite frontline led by Udoka Azubuike and David McCormack. Azubuike and McCormack free things up for guards Devon Dotson and Ochai Agbaji. Both those players will turn the Spartans’ aggressiveness against them. The spread is high. Nevertheless, the Kansas Jayhawks should cover. Back Rock Chalk for profits.
