F Tyler Nickel was good for 25 points with 5 3-pointers and F AK Okereke ended up with 23 points and a pair of triples. The Commodores have won 5 of their past 6 games, going 4-2 ATS in that span.

Vanderbilt at Missouri picks and predictions
Prediction
Vanderbilt 83, Missouri 76
Vanderbilt (-170) will cost you nearly 2 times your potential return, and that’s just a little too expensive for my liking. If you were to use a boost or promo, it might be OK, and it is OK to include Vandy in same-game parlay (SGP).
AVOID playing the Commodores straight up without any promos, however.
VANDERBILT -3.5 (-110) has covered 4 of its past 6 games overall and is 4-2 ATS in the past 6 games on the road, too. As single-digit favorites, the Commodores have covered 3 in a row while going 6-1 ATS in the past 7 such instances and 9-2 ATS in 11 such games on the season.
Missouri is just 2-6 ATS in its past 8 games, while going 0-4 ATS in the past 4 at home and 3-7 ATS in the previous 10 outings in Columbia.
OVER 153.5 (-110) is worth a look, but don’t get too carried away.
The Over has cashed in the past 2 games for Missouri, with the Tigers allowing 85 points in both outings. The Tigers have coughed 79+ points in five of their past six games, too, and at least 74 points in 9 of the past 10 outings.
For Vanderbilt, though, the Under is 6-1 in the past 7 games, with the defense allowing 69 or fewer points in 4 of its past 6 contests. The offense is banging, though, posting 80+ points in 3 in a row and 5 of the past 6 games.
