Money line: Villanova +170, Kansas -200

The Bear's pick: Villanova +4.5
The ultimate contrarian play. I'd love to get five points, but the line hasn't moved all week despite nearly everyone being on the Jayhawks. Yes, Justin Moore is out and that's a big loss for Villanova, but I also think there's a bit of recency bias here in regards to people's views on Kansas.
