(NCAAB) Alabama vs. Missouri,
Point Spread: -3.00 | -105.00 Alabama (Away)
Result: Loss
The Crimson Tide can do it on both ends of the floor. Against one of the best defensive teams in the country, Tennessee, Bama went on the road and hung 71 on the Vols in coming away with an impressive 71-63 road win. The Crimson Tide is not just about the offense, they are capable of locking opponents down on the defensive end of the floor as well. They have held their opponents to just 35.4 percent shooting in their last three games. including their recent loss to a very talented Oklahoma team.

I would say that Missouri doesn't play defensive, as well as Tennessee, does, but the one thing that Missouri has is a more potent offense. Missouris only shot at winning this game would be to get in a shootout and score more points. That will be hard to do against a Bama defense that has been playing so well and limiting their opponent's shooting to just 35 percent. Xavier Pinson, Dru Smith, and Jeremiah Tinton will need a huge night for Missouri if they hope to pull this one out.

I am taking the Bama defense and Jaden Shackelford and Alabama’s offense to come away with a win and cover.

Play on Alabama.
