Missouri at Auburn picks and predictions
Prediction
Auburn 85, Missouri 76
Moneyline
There’s no play here, and player props weren’t available at press time.
PASS.
Against the spread
Mizzou is just 5-8 ATS, but most of those L’s were for failure to beat a team by margin. It hung with Illinois and beat Kansas. It has the ability to stay in this one to at least cover the MISSOURI +18.5 (-115).
Over/Under
Auburn is an offensive juggernaut at 5th in the country with 88.3 PPG. Mizzou isn’t too far behind at 87.3 PPG. Granted Mizzou has played a lot of trash teams, but it can put up buckets aplenty. Both teams are 8-5 O/U, and the last meeting in March saw 175 points scored.
Take the OVER 154.5 (-115).
