Kansas has won 23 straight against Oklahoma in Lawrence and hasn’t lost to the Sooners at Allen Fieldhouse since 1993. Good Oklahoma teams, great Oklahoma teams, even a Final Four Oklahoma team have all come to Lawrence over the past 30 years. They’ve all had one thing in common: they left with a loss to the Jayhawks.
The Bucs might have played a soft schedule, but they’ve done a fine job of playing to their expectations. Meanwhile, Philadelphia has not covered a spread since Nov. 20 at Kansas City, failing on seven straight occasions.
Will the Packers knock the Cowboys out of the playoffs again or will the home team prevail? James Tillman III breaks down this NFC wildcard matchup.
