Kansas vs. Colorado Prediction and Odds: Jayhawks Set to Roll

Kansas is playing their first true road game of the season at altitude against Colorado. This could be a tricky spot for the Jayhawks, who are looking the part of a Final Four contender albeit playing some lighter competition of late.

KU is elite on both sides of the ball and will look to add a high major opponent in Colorado, who has taken a step back after losing some veteran players from last year's NCAA Tournament team but do have a potential lottery pick in Jabari Walker.

Let's break down the odds from WynnBET Sportsbook and find a best bet.

Kansas vs. Colorado Prediction and Pick

While I do think Kansas is in line to roll, there are some factors to keep in mind before playing the Jayhawks.

For starters, Colorado has one of the strongest home court advantages in the country, playing at altitude makes it harder on visiting teams to keep up while the Buffs are adapted to the playing conditions.

As well, this is Kansas' first true road game, which is always a change of pace for college players. Lastly, the team has one more tune up eight days from now before starting Big 12 play, are they already looking ahead to more important games on the horizon.

I have this game lined right at 10, so the number feels correct based on Kansas fantastic offense. The team is third in KenPom's offensive efficiency metric, which is anchored by star wing Ocahi Agbaji, who is hitting on 48% of his three-point tries.

With David McCormack down low, the Buffs are going to have a tough time keeping up on offense, especially considering the team is shooting just over 30% from deep.

I lean with Kansas, but will be waiting for some buyback on the home underdog before I lay the points.

LEAN: Kansas -10
