Today I have just 1 BIG WINNER for you in the NCAAB ranks, my BIG 12 BLOCKBUSTER which are $$$ this season. Wednesday’s FREE WINNER: Missouri Tigers. Game 671. 4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST. Sports betting is about the advantage a line gives to you. Trust me when I tell you, I see a huge advantage at taking double-digits with the Missouri Tigers here today. Yes, the Kentucky Wildcats have dominated this rivalry taking seven of the last 10 meetings straight up. But this isn't about who wins, this is about who covers, and Missouri has covered five of the last 10 matchups in this rivalry. They also enter this game winning three of their last four SU and covering two of their last three. I doubt very much they're going to be in a letdown situation following their last game, a 76-74 outright victory as a 7.5-point underdog over the defending National Champions, the Florida Gators. On paper, Kentucky looks pretty strong. They took down Indiana and St. John's last month. However, they come off a humiliating 15-point loss on the road at Alabama in their last game. As a matter of fact, when asked to step up this season, most of the time, they have fallen short. Case in point, losing by seven to Louisville, by 17 to Michigan State, by three to North Carolina, and by 35 to Gonzaga. The Tigers have played pretty good basketball sporting an 11-3 overall record. They are hitting over 50% overall from the floor (51.4%) and 36.5% from downtown. While the Wildcats are pretty good defensively, they will have their hands full going up against the eighth-ranked defensive rebounding core in college basketball. I think this game will be a lot closer than the pointspread. Take Missouri. Thank you.
