Missouri Tigers vs UCLA Bruins Point Spread Picks

The Tigers are 3-1-1 ATS in their last five home games, 6-1 ATS in their last seven vs. PAC-12. This is a long road trip for UCLA -a team that hasn't been tested yet.

The Bruins are also 0-6 ATS in their last six road games when following three or more consecutive home games. Missouri owns a 23-game home court winning streak at Mizzou Arena - the longest home winning streak in the country. The Tigers get revenge at home, so take Mizzou. Mizzou is the lone remaining unbeaten club in the SEC and marquee matchups like this can mean tough defense. UCLA is not as strong offensively away from home with the UNDER is 5-1 in the Bruins last six road games. Missouri is 5-2 UNDER the total following a win and the UNDER is 6-1 in the Bruins last seven road games following three or more consecutive home games. Play Missouri and take the UNDER.

The Missouri Tigers have raced out to a 10-1 start, and are fresh off their biggest win of the season over previously unbeaten Illinois. It was a huge emotional win and they will have to try to bring the same energy to Pauley Pavilion tonight to take on the Bruins. One big issue will be taking to the road for the first time all season. It isn't just any place it is at UCLA, who has lost just one time here at 7-1. The Bruins are all about quickness, and four of their five top scorers are guards led by the tandem of Shabazz Muhammed, and Jordan Adams. The pair average 18 points per game each, and present the quickness and depth to slow the Tigers’ speed advantage, which is going to make this a stern road test. The Tigers are having problems adjusting after a home stand set as they are 4-9 ATS on the road after three or more at home. This total is set at 150 despite the fact that Missouri holds opponents to just 61.7 points per game (56.6 over their last five games) and UCLA has a good defense too. In their last 15 games as a home favorite of 3 or less, UCLA is 13-2 to the UNDER. And, in their last 19 games following a game in which they scored over 90 points. the Bruins are 13-6 to the UNDER. Take UCLA and the UNDER here.
