Big XII Basketball Play of the Day for 2/5/11

Missouri

Colorado goes to Missouri today.  Missouri needs to make a statement in this game with the erratic play they have had of late.

I see that statement getting made.  Missouri is giving 10 pts to the Buffalos, and they should end up winning by 15-20.

Mizzou is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games and 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games as a home favorite of 7.0-12.5.  That should spell disaster for a Colorado team that has performed better than most thought coming into the year.

Take Missouri and give the 10.

10/30/10 College Football Plays of the Week

Iowa and Nebraska this week.

Michigan State comes to Iowa City undefeated.  If Sparty could win this game they would cruise to a Big 10 Championship.  They problem is they are at Iowa and that will be the difference.  Look for a close game for the first half and then Michigan State which has been living dangerously this season will hit reality.  Iowa is giving the Spartans 6.5.  It's not enough, Iowa will win by 12.

A similar situation happens in Lincoln, Nebraska this weekend.  Missouri comes into town on a roll.  They are undefeated and leading the Big XII North.  Nebraska stands in their way and Nebraska here is favored by 7.5.   Missouri is coming off a win against Oklahoma and it's only natural to have a bit of a letdown.  Nebraska's D dominates this game and  they cover the 7.5. 

A bonus pick for late Saturday night is the OVER in the Hawaii vs. Idaho tilt.  Way over 64!
