No Number Yet, and That Matters
There is no betting line on this game yet. A week out, that is the whole story for a bettor, because you cannot find value in a price that does not exist. The Saint Louis Billikens and the Missouri Tigers meet Friday, November 6, at 7:00 PM ET at Enterprise Center, and the game airs on ESPNU. Missouri is listed as the home team. Everything else waits on the sportsbooks, including who is favored.
Who Is Favored to Win Saint Louis vs Missouri?
Nobody yet. No odds were posted as of October 30, so the market has not named a favorite. It is also very early. Both teams are 0-0, and neither has played a game this season. We will not dress up last season's results as this season's form. When a matchup is this fresh, the posted odds will be the first real data point worth reading for Missouri vs Saint Louis. Odds are the prices books set, and they reflect what the betting market thinks.
Players to Watch
Our data does not list season leaders for either roster yet, which makes sense with no games played as of October 30. We will not guess at who carries the scoring load. Stat lines become useful once both teams have games in the books. Even then, a player with only a handful of games is a small sample, meaning too few games to call anything a habit. For now, watch the box score. Do not bet it.

Saint Louis vs Missouri Odds and Spread: What to Look For
When the Saint Louis vs Missouri odds post, you will see three main bets. The moneyline is a bet on who wins, nothing more. A minus sign marks the favorite, which means you risk more than you win. A plus sign marks the underdog, which means you win more than you risk. The spread is a handicap. The favorite must win by more than a set number of points, and the underdog covers if it loses by less than that number or wins outright.
The total, also called the over/under, is a bet on the combined points scored by both teams. Every price includes the vig, which is the house's cut built into the odds. Build this habit now: check several sportsbooks. Different books post different prices on the same game, and skipping the best number leaves value on the table. One more rule for later. If you back a spread underdog, a bigger number at the same price is always better.
Where the Value Is
Value needs two things: a price, and a fair estimate to compare it against. Without posted odds, we have neither. Once lines appear, we strip the vig out of both sides to get the no-vig percentage. That is the market-implied chance with the house cut removed.
Then we compare it to the break-even rate of the best available price, which is the win rate you need just to come out even. Expected value, or EV, is the average result per $100 risked if you made the same bet over and over. Positive EV means the price pays more than the risk deserves. Right now there is no number to run, so there is no value to claim.
The Pick
No pick yet. We do not take a side without a price, because a pick with no number is just a guess. Our lean comes only after the Saint Louis vs Missouri spread and moneyline post and we can compare them across books.
