Missouri State Bears vs Texas Arlington Mavericks Point Spread Picks

Missouri St. will hit the road and face Texas Arlington. Both these clubs have started the season at 2-1, and both have played high-scoring games. I would expect the ball to be moving quickly in this one. Missouri St. is averaging 93 PPG, and their average total points in their three games have been 164. Texas-Arlington has averaged 88 points per game thus far. Both teams are shooting 49% from the field, and they are each taking nearly 70 shots per game. I think the total here is considerably low compared to what we have seen from these teams so far this season. Make the play OVER the total.

Missouri St. has a good hoops program. They are off to a 2-2 start to the season, but they have played above the line as they are 2-0 ATS. They will host UT Arlington tonight, and the Mavericks are off to a 2-2 start and have shot the ball well. I think the shooting is an illusion as Texas Arlington has a couple outlier games vs. weak teams that have padded some of the stats in the early going. Missouri St. should come into this game with a confident feeling as they are off a triple overtime win against Tulsa. Missouri St. is allowing opponents to shoot just 38.9% from the field thus far, and I like them against a short number here at home. Make the play on Missouri St.
