The Arkansas Razorbacks snapped a two-game losing streak last time out, as they picked up a 73-60 victory over the Kentucky Wildcats as 2.5-point home favorites.

Over the last two-plus seasons, the Razorbacks are a dreadful 7-21 against the spread away from home, while the UNDER is 17-6 in that situation.

The Missouri Tigers have won two games in a row, including an 89-76 victory over the LSU Tigers as 14-point home favorites last Saturday.

Sports bettors will find that the Tigers are 3-3 against the spread as home favorites of 9.5 to 12 points since the start of the 2010-11 season.

Prediction

I'm going to recommend that readers back the Missouri Tigers as one of their college basketball picks Tuesday night. The Arkansas Razorbacks are 0-6 against the spread in their last six conference games as road underdogs when surrendering 75 or more points.
