Kansas at Missouri

Kansas is well tested, and has remained perfect. This is their best start since the 1996 season when they went 22-0. They face a Missou team that is perfect at home. But, don't be fooled about the relative strengths of these teams. Kansas has gone 17-0 while Missouri has lost six games already. Defense is the difference. The Jayhawks hold opponents to 58.4 ppg and they don't slip an inch on the road. They have held their last five opponents, including two conference foes, to 57 ppg. How has Missouri fared over that span? They have allowed 71.4 ppg. Kansas is 21-3 the past two seasons vs. winning teams including a 12-1 mark vs. teams winning 60%+ of their games. They are 17-1 vs. teams that allow 42% or less from the field. Missou is just 7-12 vs. such teams the past two seasons. Kanas too much here and they will get the road win, handing the Tigers their first home loss.
