2 Picks (6 Units)

9PM EST: Alabama vs Missouri Over 171.5 (3 Units).

Alabama's 3rd in offensive rating and 1st in Pace and they dictate the flow of games everywhere they go. The last time they played on the road they dropped 103 points on Texas. They are coming off a 9-point loss at Home against Auburn and we like them to come out guns blazing because of it. That was just their 4th loss of the season. In 3 games following a loss they've scored 100 on Illinois, 94 on North Carolina, and 102 on Kentucky. Mizzu is 44th in defensing rating and right at league average in terms of pace but they're 11th in offensive rating. They can do it all offensively and Alabama's 39th ranked defense isn't going to be enough to stop them in their own House. Fully expect the Tigers to dive headfirst into Alabama's pace.

9PM EST: Auburn -15.5 (3 Units).

Arkansas has played some decent ball of late, but this is a rough match-up. The Razorbacks are 80th in offensive rating, 21st in defensive rating, and 153rd in rebound rate. We like to back these types of teams at home and fade them on the road. Auburn's 1st in offensive rating, 13th in defensive rating, and 38th in rebound rate. Arkansas's elite defense isn't good enough to stop Auburn and their offense is in for a long day. It's not like they'll be successful crashing the offensive glass on misses either. The Razorbacks are just 2-7 ATS away from home this season. Against weaker defensive teams they've hung in just fine, but it's been ugly otherwise. They've lost by 8 at A&M, 18 at Mizzu, 24 at Tennessee, and 23 on a neutral court for Illinois. Some good ball clubs but none of them as complete as Auburn. This is set up for a bit of a letdown spot for Auburn coming off that win over Alabama. With that win coming on the road and Auburn having lost their most recent home game, we don't see them falling asleep at the wheel here.
