Missouri Tigers @ Oklahoma Sooners
Suggestion: Missouri -5

To be honest this doesn't look like it will be much of a contest. Mizzou has a better record by 7.5 games, they're 8-2 in conference while Oklahoma is 3-7. On average they're scoring 9 ppg more than OK while allowing 4 ppg less. They already beat Oklahoma this year by 38 points. They've won 7 out of their past 8 games while Oklahoma comes in having dropped 7 out of their last 10. Mizzou has a huge advantage at the guard spot and Oklahoma has yet to find a reliable compliment to Andrew Fitzgerald. Coming off a big win against Kansas, this has the potential to be a trap game for Missouri, one they could overlook. But with such a large advantage on paper, and with a hot team in a reasonably small line, I'm rolling the dice on the Tigers -5.
