Missouri at Texas picks and predictions
Prediction
Missouri 80, Texas 74
Moneyline
PASS.
Missouri is a quality side that has a road win over Florida in the 2 weeks. However, considering it is an underdog and being given a few points, the preferred play is on the spread over the moneyline.
Against the spread
BET MISSOURI +2.5 (-110).
The Tigers have been a covering machine. They are 5-0 ATS in SEC play and have allowed 67 or fewer points in 3 of those 5 contests, so they have excelled defensively. Missouri is 3-1 ATS away from home.
The Longhorns were blasted by Florida in their last game and are just 3-3 ATS in their last 6 outings. Texas has scored 70 or fewer points in 3 of its last 5 games, so it might be able to keep up offensively.
Back MISSOURI +2.5 (-110).
Over/Under
BET OVER 148.5 (-110).
The Longhorns have eclipsed the projected total in 3 of their last 4 games, allowing 73 points or more in all 4 while scoring at least 70 points in 3 games. Texas is 3-2 O/U in conference play and 9-8-1 O/U on the season.
The Tigers are 9-9 O/U on the season and have an ultra-efficient offense with each of their top-3 scoring options shooting at least 50% from the field. The Tigers have tallied at least 83 points in 3 of their last 4 games.
Take OVER 148.5 (-110).
