2024 Big 12 Win Totals Predictions Part 1
With the nationalization of sports gambling, the public has more access to early season thoughts from Vegas. Back in February, the first Big 12 win totals for the 2024 season were released. But those came out before Spring practices and the Spring transfer portal window closed. That, and likely some action from the public, moved four of those February totals, with three of those numbers going down. This means the public was fading three Big 12 teams early in the Springtime. But with less than 40 days until Colorado opens the 2024 season and all the rosters officially set, it is time to pick some winners. With 16 teams in the conference, we are going to divide up our selection into two parts. All totals referenced are listed on FanDuel.
