What You Can Bet on Today in Missouri Now That Sports Betting is Legal

• Giants vs. Patriots on Monday Night Football highlights first day of Missouri sports betting
• The St. Louis Blues lead a light night of NHL action
• Nine NBA games are on the docket, including Suns vs. Lakers

The day is finally here. Missouri sports betting apps are now live and legal, meaning Show-Me State bettors can start placing their wagers.

But what sporting events can you bet on today? There’s not a ton honestly, but you do get some NFL, NBA, NHL and even a handful of college basketball games to wager on during the first 24 hours of legal betting in Missouri.

Here’s a look at the highlights.

Betting on Giants vs. Patriots MNF in Missouri

The big one today is Monday Night Football, and even though Giants vs. Patriots isn’t a great matchup, being able to bet on NFL action on Day 1 is a nice perk for Missourians.

The Patriots are a pretty heavy favorite in this one, which should come as no surprise. They are riding an eight-game win streak while the Giants were the first team in the league to be officially eliminated from playoff contention.

Monday Night Football odds are among some of the most bet on each week at top-rated sportsbooks, so you will find a large volume of player and team props to bet on as well.

One I like is Drake Maye 260+ pass yards, which was coming in at +112 odds Sunday at DraftKings Missouri. Maye has eclipsed this number in four of his last five games, and the one he didn’t he had 259.

The second-year quarterback has turned into a real MVP contender, and the Patriots coaching staff seems very comfortable putting the game in his hands.

Ducks vs. Blues & Other NHL Games to Bet on at MO Sportsbooks

There are five NHL games you can bet on tonight in Missouri, including Ducks vs. Blues. The latest odds for that are here:

Opening faceoff for that one is scheduled for 7 p.m. CT, as the top team in the Pacific Division visits the Enterprise Center.

Here’s a list of the other NHL games scheduled for December 1 (all times CT):

• Penguins at Flyers, 6 p.m.
• Blue Jackets at Devils, 6 p.m.
• Jets at Sabres, 6:30 p.m.

Best NBA Games to Bet on Today at Missouri Sports Betting Apps

Most of the NBA is in action Monday night, as nine games are on the schedule.

The biggest game in terms of star power is Suns vs. Lakers, which tips off at 9 p.m. CT. LeBron James isn’t likely to dress for this one, but you’ll be able to find plenty of player props for Luke Doncic, Devin Booker and others.

Luka is nearly averaging a triple double in his first full season with the Lakers, at 35 points, 8.5 rebounds and 9.4 assists per game.

Other NBA games you can be on tonight include:

• Hawks at Pistons, 6 p.m.
• Bucks at Wizards, 6 p.m.

• Clippers at Heat, 6:30 p.m.
• Bulls at Magic, 6:30 p.m.
• Hornets at Nets, 6:30 p.m.
• Rockets at Jazz, 8 p.m.
• Mavericks at Nuggets, 8 p.m.

College Hoops, Futures and Other Bets to Make Today in Missouri

The Monday night college basketball slate is a weak one, with not a single ranked team in action. Temple vs. Villanova should be a spirited Philadelphia battle, however, if you want to get in on that action.

You can also venture outside of single games when making some of your early bets at Missouri sportsbooks, particularly with future odds.

Futures are available for every sport, basically all the time, so if you want to bet on Kansas City Chiefs futures (+1500 to win the Super Bowl at BetMGM Missouri), you can do that.

College Football Playoff futures, like who will make it and who will win it, are available, as are championship odds in the NBA, NHL, MLB, March Madness and more.

Make sure to take your time today, browse through all the markets that interest you and download multiple apps to compare odds. Most importantly, be responsible and have fun!
