Colorado beat Baylor over the weekend, giving the Buffaloes a two-game home
winning streak.  They have also played five consecutive games above expectation.
On the other hand, Colorado is a very consistent team, and in only four games
have they played enough above expectation to overcome a 7.84 point predicted
margin.  Meanwhile, Kansas can lose to anybody, especially on the road.  The
Jayhawks have played below expectation by more than 7.84 points on eight
occasions, with five of those occurring in the last eight games.  Kansas
started out the season quite consistently, but after a 51 points blowout win
over UCF and a humiliating 34 point loss to BYU, the Jayhawks are 6.6 points
more inconsistent than the Buffaloes.

As you surmised, the average of the various prognostications is 7.84 points in
favor of Kansas.  The common opponents comparison provides the most optimistic
prediction, with Kansas favored by 12.4 points.  Massey in the pessimist,
picking Kansas to win by only 4 points.

It's the easiest remaining game in the regular season, as the Jayhawks end the
regular season against the top three teams in the conference.  As the saying
goes, get while the gettin' is good.

Common Opponents
================
There are twelve common opponents, eleven in conference, plus Michigan State, one
of which Colorado has played twice (Arizona State), one of which both have played
twice (UCF), and one of which Colorado has played THREE times (Iowa State) by
virtue of a tournament that had its field set back when Colorado was still in the
Pac 12.  For the Iowa State common opponent, I will do the usual home-home and
road-road permutations, and then for Colorado's neutral court game against Iowa
State, I'll choose to compare that result against both the home and road games
that Kansas played against Iowa State.  And we have the head-to-head game in
Lawrence, giving us eighteen scores to compare:

Thirteen of the comparisons favor Kansas, four favor Colorado, and one is a wash.
The average is 12.4 points in favor of Kansas, with a scatter of 17.8 points.
