Texas Tech at Kansas Prediction 1/2/18

You must give the Red Raiders credit for their 12-1 record, but they haven’t compiled the best resume beating many mid-range teams. They did destroy a decent Northwestern team, but failed against Seton Hall and needed overtime against Nevada to come away with a win. The Jayhawks lost back to back games against Pac-12 teams in early December and didn’t extend the lead in wins against Texas and Kentucky. Taking the points seem like the wise way tro play this game.
