Missouri St at Creighton
Pick: Missouri St +10.5
Analysis: When Missouri State takes on Creighton in a Missouri Valley Conference clash Sunday afternoon they will look to avenge a pair of losses suffered last year against the Blue Jays. That's good news for the Bears considering that teams who won 15 or more games and lost twice to Creighton last year are 8-2 ATS with revenge the next season, including 5-0 ATS as dogs of more than 8 points. In addition, Missouri State is 4-1 SU and 5-0 ATS as a dog of more than 3 points in this series when playing off a loss. Toss in the Bears' 4-0 ATS mark as dogs of more than 7 points off a double-digit loss against and opponent off a double-digit win and the fact that Creighton is 0-7 ATs as a favorite of 4 or more points against an opponent off a loss and you have all the makings of a live double-digit dog with Missouri State today.
