Missouri vs Oklahoma Prediction

Oklahoma is getting the benefit of the doubt because it’s at home but let’s not forget a few weeks ago this group couldn’t buy a win. I think it’s fair to say that Missouri is the better team and the Tigers do have 5 road wins, so this side won’t be intimidated. Oklahoma is 11-18 ATS on the season. As I’ve said many times in the past, you’ll make a lot of money in this business if you can get more favorable prices with the better team. We’re getting a free bucket with Missouri. I’ll take it.
