Other Games

Memphis @ Missouri (Missouri -5.5, O/U 51.5)

Evan:  Memphis going back and forth with Navy was a treat to watch, but I think it was a warning sign of things to come when tasked with stiffer opposition. Missouri did a great job in pulling off the win last week against Kansas State. They had more than a few chances to give the game away, but the leg of the kicker saved the day. “Momentum Builder” is how I would classify Saturday’s win for Mizzou. LSU versus Missouri in Atlanta for the SEC Title?? Missouri -5.5

Ryan:  This line makes zero sense to me. Missouri should be favored by more. I think it is a little ratty but Missouri should win by a TD or more. Missouri -5.5

Ethan:  The Mizzou Tigers are an agent of chaos right now and they pulled off a really respectable win over a Kansas State team that could conceivably contend for the Big 12 again this year (shoutout to the most entertaining college football conference). Missouri -5.5

Justin: Why is this line this low? I’d take Missouri for more than double these points they’re laying. Missouri -5.5

Andrew:  I’ll go the other way for contrarian’s sake. Mizzou QB Brady Cook might be out, and this is a prime letdown spot. Memphis didn’t look great versus Navy, but Mizzou also looked sluggish beyond the K-State win. Memphis +5.5
