GYNO!!!! Need your help please. You posted in my thread about my lean for Kansas +27 this week, just like I was.... I am afraid the outward appearance was much better looking than what was on the inside. I hate to clog your thread, but not sure if you would venture back into mine. Please let me know what you think of this game based on the info I posted in my thread and copied below for you. Thanks for your insight.

I'm really leaning Kansas +27.. Reesing and 27 points always looks enticing.

Gyno... I am just like you it certainly looked enticing on the "cover", but once I opened the book a little, I am seriously concerned and looking for advice. Based on what I read in the book, this may no longer be a lean for Kansas & I am actually considering leaning in the complete opposite.
Kansas has lost 5 straight games, while Texas has started to roll after the Oklahoma game winning their last 4 games by avg of 31.5 pts.
Reesing has been only average in those 5 losses, going 118-210, 56%, 1,283 yds, 5 TDs, & 5 Ints. Reesing ranks 8th in the Big 12 in pass effeciency & 7th in total offense.
McCoy has been solid in last 4 blowout wins, going 98-128, 77%, 1,091 yds, 8 TDs, & 2 Ints. McCoy ranks 1st in the Big 12 in pass effeciency & 4th in total offense.
They have played 4 common opponents with Texas winning them all and Kansas going 1-3.
Texas.....opp......Kansas
64-7..... UTEP ... 34-7
38-14...Colorado. 30-34
34-24..Tex Tech. 21-42
16-13..Oklahoma. 13-35
All this with the fact that Texas ranks #1 in total defense, #22 pass def, #5 pass eff. def, #1 rush def, and #7 scoring def (12.6 ppg), and #1 in yards allowed. Texas also ranks in the top 25 of all offensive categories, with the exception of rushing (#55), including #2 in scoring (41.6 ppg).
Meanwhile, Kansas is good in passing offense #9, but only #48 in pass effeciency, and #44 in scoring (29.4 ppg). The main concern is the Jayhawk defense and can they stop the Longhorns?!? The Jayhawk defense is just average, their highest ranking is against the run #42. Kansas is #69 vs the pass, #51 in defense pass efficiency, & #65 in scoring defense (24.9 ppg), & #53 in yards allowed (351.4 ypg).
Add all this up, coupled with the fact that this is SENIOR DAY for the Longhorns, and only have a weak Texas A&M team on Thanksgiving Day before the Big 12 Championship... I am not sure that Reesing & Kansas can stay within 4 TDs against a red hot McCoy and their defense.
Leaning strongly to a NO play or complete switch to Texas, but looking for some big time opinions from you guys on this one.
