    Missouri +2.5

    Turned 100 into 385 on the SMC vs. URI game, Missouri wins SU but taking the points just in case.

    I do not understand why UCLA is favored vs a team with a pulse.

    Mizzou is the much better team. UCLA living off of preseason predictions.

    Doesn't a home game equal 4 points? Even if that's a case I would be all over Mizzou -2.5 if it was there. Really don't understand this one, shabazz can only do so much against a Mizzou team which just proved its worth against Illinois. Let down after a big win is all I can think of..

    Ehhh somethings up with this line IMO. You would think Mizzou would be favored against a team hat literally hasn't done anything all year. I don't care where the game is being played at...

    Vegas is either trying to tell us something, or this is the worst line I've ever seen.

    Lines are mostly just power rankings if they were playing a common opponent Mizzou would be favored by about 1 point more. Mizzou is 20 and UCLA 30 in kenpom

    Ucla is at home missouri has not had any tough road games at all!!! nuetral court but not road. With out looking at opponents and just stats ucla stats are better in every area except rebounding. Mizzou never really gets any credit for there team is another factor. Not crying about it just saying which is nice in situations like these. but still have not looked at this game to deep but might be a situation here where you take ucla... but will get back to you after I take close look and let you know.

    Actually mizzou has had no true road games but I agree after beating ill, +2.5 is steep. I will prolly still take mizzou since last few game presey is back in his assist routine. which creates better open looks and better shooting %!!!

    I like how you say that like it's surprising.

    95% of Vegas' lines are just Pomeroy ripoffs. Very rarely is there any discrepancy.

    With the line moving to +4 I would say the public trap is on UCLA. Missouris stats are deflated after getting Jabari Brown back just two games ago. Despite awful shooting the kid is still averaging 15ppg, he'll go for 20 tonight as UCLA can score but can't defend. Anderson is good, but soft and untested inside against the likes of Bowers. Not to mention the pressure on the UCLA freshman trio to try and get a big win at home against a ranked team. Missouri should win by 2-3, very possible they win by 6+.

    Right, my point was that the line was right because it opened in line with Pomeroy. Not quite sure what you mean by "like it's surprising"?

    Looks like it's going to finish around +3, maybe back to 2.5 at tipoff. Don't overthink this one, Missouri is the better more experienced team.
