WISCONSIN-GREEN BAY +19 - Missouri may be nationally ranked and off to a 4-0 start, but this is an awful lot of points to give a Green Bay team that comes to play every night. Also, the Tigers figure to be a tired club after flying across the country following their 6-point win at USC on Saturday. That was actually their first meeting with a Division I school this season, as their first 3 victories came at the expense of Cal State-Sacramento, Austin Peay, and American University. This will be the second straight Big 12 opponent for the Phoenix, which is coming off of a 68-64 victory over Kansas State. Green Bay may be just 2-3 on the season, but they are only losing their contests by an average of 6.8 points. Besides their victory over Kansas State, their only other lined game was a 17-point loss to a very good Wisconsin team, a margin that would STILL be good enough to cover this game. I look for the Phoenix to take advantage of some tired Missouri legs and hang in this game, ultimately falling by about 10-12 points.
