Missouri sports betting launched in recent days, just in time for a crucial college basketball matchup between the Missouri Tigers and the Kansas Jayhawks on Sunday.

Missouri (+5.5)
The Tigers suffered their first loss of the season on Tuesday at Notre Dame to drop to 8-1 overall. Meanwhile, the Jayhawks are also coming off a loss on Tuesday to UConn and are now 6-3 on the season. Superstar freshman Darryn Peterson — the favorite to be drafted No. 1 overall at the 2026 NBA Draft — is expected to return after missing seven games with a hamstring injury. However, the Tigers have covered the spread in each of their last two head-to-head matchups with Kansas and the model predicts that Missouri covers in 73% of simulations. Use the latest DraftKings Missouri promo code to get $300 in bonus bets after your first $5 wager:
Over 149.5 points
Peterson’s return should help give the Kansas offense a significant lift after it only managed 56 points at home against UConn on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Missouri has been one of the most efficient offenses in the country so far this season, ranking second in the nation in field-goal percentage (54.4%) and 22nd in points per game (90.4). The model predicts that there are 152 points scored on average and that the Over hits in 59% of simulations. Bet $5 and get $300 in bonus bets using the new FanDuel Missouri promo code.
