The Big 12 has three teams in the AP poll; two of them meet Wednesday night in Columbia when the No. 15 Missouri Tigers (24-5 SU, 13-9 ATS) host the No. 4 Oklahoma Sooners (26-3 SU, 13-10-1 ATS). (AP Images)

Missouri had a seven-game winning streak at 6-1 ATS snapped in Lawrence on Sunday with a 90-65 loss to Kansas, who now lead the Sooners by one game and the Tigers by two in the conference standings.

Oklahoma lost a pair of games (including one to Kansas) without Blake Griffin, but the Sooners were all over Texas Tech in Griffin’s return, winning 78-63 as 8.5-point road faves. These are two very strong offensive teams with a combined over of 27-17. The over is also 5-1 in the last six meetings between these two clubs, with the Tigers at 5-1 ATS. Oklahoma’s defense is suspect enough to keep Mizzou’s betting value high.
