There are not many places to play that are more daunting for a road team than Kansas. The Jayhawks are 237-22 SU at home over their last 259 games. They have an average winning margin of over 19 points per game. Stanford is 5-2, but it is a problematic 5-2, as the Cardinal's two biggest tests on the season were epic failures, losing to Miami, FL on a neutral court by 14, and then losing to St. Mary's at home by 15. Kansas is perhaps the best shooting team in the country, shooting over 50% in five of their last six games, but at the same time have held five opponents to 40% shooting or less. Stanford has shot 38% or less in three of their last five games, and this may look like a somewhat competitive game, but it looks more like a blowout to me. Lay the points and take Kansas.
