BTB Betting Pick

For the spread pick, Kansas is favored by 6.5 points. Despite Kansas having a lower scoring average at 74.0 points per game, their defense might slow down Missouri’s high-powered offense. Missouri scores 90.4 points per game, but Kansas’s ability to control the pace with fewer possessions could help them cover the spread. The recommendation is to pick Kansas -6.5.

For the over/under, the line is set at 149.5 points. Missouri’s offense is strong, ranking 21st in points per game, while Kansas ranks 291st. However, Kansas’s slower pace and decent defense may keep the total score under control. The projected score is Kansas 78, Missouri 70. The recommendation is to pick Under 149.5.
