LSU-Mizzou 2013: Who wins and why?

This came up on another thread and I thought it was interesting. First let's look at the common opponents:
Ole Miss
Ole Miss 27, LSU 24 (Oxford)
Missouri 24, Ole Miss 10 (Oxford)
Auburn
LSU 35, Auburn 21 (Baton Rouge)
Auburn 59, Missouri 42 (Atlanta)
Texas A&M
LSU 34, A&M 10 (Baton Rouge)
Missouri 28, A&M 21 (Columbia)
Florida
LSU 17, Florida 6 (Baton Rouge)
Missouri 36, Florida 17 (Columbia)
Georgia
Georgia 44, LSU 41 (Athens)
Missouri 41, Georgia 26 (Athens)
Observations:
-Missouri did better against 3 of the common opponents; LSU did better against 2 of them.
-Average scores against the common opponents were LSU 30.2, OPP 21.6 and Mizzou 34.2, OPP 26.6.
-The transitive property has its limitations, but based on just the above it appears that LSU-Mizzou would have been a close game, with Mizzou having the edge on offense and LSU having the edge on defense.
-Mizzou seemed to hold up better on the road (Oxford, Athens) than LSU did.
-LSU's defense seemed to over-perform when playing at home (vs. Aub, vs. A&M, vs. Florida) relative to Mizzou.
-Based on the above, I think in an LSU-Mizzou 2013 matchup, whoever would be playing at home would be a slight favorite. A neutral site would be a pick 'em.

Mizzou. Because Ealy, Golden, Sam and Ray.
Mizzou 27-24 on the road. Mizzou 34-17 at home.
Next question.

I guess its a good question? Depends if it was at Mizzou 30,000 seat Coliseum or Death Valley.

Does LSU have to play us first? If so, Mizzou.

Mizzou suppose to have the next messiah at QB.
So i would go with LSU we all know how this ends.

LSU!!! Ole miss game 3 first half Int's or it wouldn't have been close. Georgia game Odell's fumbled punt and Georgia was at full strength, Georgia's team was no where near at full strength!!!

Now why you gotta judge us based on that post and not on my well reasoned, rational post in tbe OP?

I'll stay out of this LSU circlejerk. You guys would suck your own dicks if you could.
Posted on 8/2/14 at 12:25 am to RidiculousHype
I'm sorry but I don't think mizzou comes within 2 TDs of LSU. Just my opinion obviously

Would you not?

I have no doubt in my mind we would have beaten Mizzou by at least two scores.

Mizzou would have a better chance in Baton Rouge than LSU would in Columbia

What makes you think that? We've only lost twice at home the past 5 seasons, both games to the #1 ranked team at the time.
