Tigers vs Commodores Analysis

Missouri suffered from a bit of a letdown earlier in the week. The Tigers dropped a tough road game to Arkansas after beating No. 6 Alabama in a wild 110-98 affair. Vanderbilt held off Mississippi 77-72 at home then edged No. 12 ranked Texas A&M 86-84. Nothing seems to come easy in the SEC sometimes.

The Tigers are 2-2 in their previous four road games. A road win against a tough Vanderbilt team would go a long way to securing a higher seed. It would make that March 8th regular-season finale against Kentucky mean something. 

Missouri went off at home in their last outing in a 101-71 rout of South Carolina. 

Like we mentioned above, Vanderbilt knows what is at stake and has a chance to get to .500 in conference play. 

The Commodores have won consecutive games and edged the Aggies behind a game-high 21 from Tyler Nickel and 16 off the bench from MJ Collins. 

Vanderbilt goes as much as eight deep sometimes with seven players playing 19+ minutes in their last game. Only Nickel played over 30 minutes. 

Missouri vs Vanderbilt Predictions

Simply, this game expects to be quite a tussle as the lines and numbers have moved considerably. The game total alone has moved between 154.5 to 159.5 while the spread has been around 1.5 to 3 points. Both teams are battle-tested because it is the SEC. However, keep in mind that anything can happen in the SEC. Vanderbilt has beaten Tennessee and Kentucky at home.

Yes, the Tigers score points with the best of them. Missouri averages 84.3 points per game (7th in the nation). Also, the Dennis Gates squad carries the fifth-best offensive rating. Pace comes in bunches and so can the points. Any team can get tripped up in the SEC. Missouri found that out against Arkansas.  

Heading to Nashville is not as easy as it used to be. However, the Tigers figure to come out with a win and cover by a slim margin on Saturday. 

Missouri vs Vanderbilt picks:

• Missouri -2.5 points (-110) at Bet365
• Nickel over 9.5 points (-105)
