Duke will hit the road and travel south as they take on Florida State in a pivotal ACC matchup. Since the start of last season, the Blue Devils have struggled in true away games, going 4-8 on the road in that span. As for the Seminoles, they have quietly had one of the best home-court advantages in the country over the past few years. They are 79-6 at home since the start of the 2016-17 season, and with the conference’s biggest opponent coming into town, it will be a rocking crowd in Tallahassee on Tuesday night. From a matchup perspective, the sheer size of Florida State’s roster may be enough to stifle Duke’s offensive efficiency. They boast the second-tallest roster in the nation, which could make things interesting. Back the Seminoles to get the upset in their biggest game of the regular season.
The Pick: Florida State ML (+176)
Moneyline: Missouri +300 | Mississippi -400
Spread: Missouri +8 (-114) | Mississippi -8 (-106)
Total: 133.5 Over -110 | Under -110

This play feels straightforward as Missouri is one of the worst Power 6 programs in the nation as they currently rank 172nd in KenPom, the second-lowest ranking of a major program in the country. The key in this matchup will come beyond the arc. The Tigers boast a horrid 24.8 percent conversion rate from the three-point line, the second-worst in the entire country, while Ole Miss ranks 24th nationally in three-point percentage allowed. If Missouri is kept to their typical one-dimensional ways, this can be a brutal matchup on the road and could spell for an ugly game. Until this offense can prove that they can score in more than one way, they will be a fade for most of the season. Add in an average margin of defeat of 32.3 points across an 0-4 record on the road, and this feels like a nightmare spot for the Tigers in Oxford. Back the Rebels to comfortably cover this spread on Tuesday night.
The Pick: Mississippi -8 (-106)
