ESPN is never wrong about Mizzou football. <---Sarcasm

I really like our odds now!

You probably need to put the link on here, because you need a microscope to see this.

With that WVU defense I'm not feeling 80% confident of them beating any non FCS team on their schedule.

ESPN is stupid, they are also the ones posting articles of How American and Patriotic Colin Kap. is for not respecting the National Anthem...

So since they always so "right" I now feel confident we will win on Saturday!

I really don't see how these guys end up with that result.

Their D is new, ours is a beast.

Our O is marginally better worst case. I think they are going to surprise some people.

Their O wants to pass so it is strength vs. strength and our D trumps their O.

Special teams slant our way too.

I am calling this one 24-13 Tigers. F the ESPN talking toads.

They are using their FPI which is essentially worthless until you get a few weeks worth of data to plug into it.

So, it's essentially plugging in last year's result and recruiting class. As it moves further into the year it becomes more accurate.

Really?

Looking forward to this game on Saturday... hopefully it's a competitive, injury free game. Hope any Mizzou fans that make the trip enjoy themselves (other than the final score).

My prediction: WVU 27 Mizzou 17

If you break 17 points, pop the champagne.

Not even trying to be funny or cute. If this happens I'll be shocked and slightly concerned.

Didn't Arkansas State score 20 on you last year?

Miss St. scored 31?

Arkansas 28?

If Mizzou is counting on holding a Dana Holgorsen offense at home under 17 points to have a chance to win, it could be a long day for the visitors.

Holgorsen usually has his offense ready to go when he has extra time to prepare... for season openers and bowl games.

you should research your stats a bit more and account for what Mizzou's offense gave up last year.

A lot of the scores are due to the offense being so, so bad. Our offense was more embarrassing than the protest and shite that happened on campus. we were setting, and shattering records for the amount of time the defense was on the field. I say this with no sarcasm, if we got a first down, we would literally high-five each other.

The offense SHOULD be MUCH better this year, which of course, will keep the defense off the field, which obviously will bring the points down.

Mizzou's D held every offense they faced below their average PPG. Every. Single. One.

I know overall your defensive #'s were impressive, but you guys played a lot of horrible offensive teams.

UConn, UGA, South Carolina, UK, Vandy, SE Miss, etc... all really bad offensive teams.

Ark State, Arkansas, UF, Miss State all scored 20 or more.

A little silly to say you're gonna hold us under 17 when we have one of the better offensive minds in college football, at home, and basically everybody back on an offense that averaged something 35 ppg.

Oh well, that's why they play the game. We'll find out soon enough.

UF scored more against Bama's defense in the title game than Mizzou's. They had a pick six and our offense throw a pick in our own offensive zone that allowed uf to pick up a real easy td, Pretty much the same thing happened against MSU but we also just couldnt figure out how to stop Dak Prescott

Step 1: Take your index finger and thumb. (Right or Left hand optional)

Step 2: Put them together and touch your screen.

Step 3: While touching the screen of your interwebs device move your index finger and thumb away from each other.

Step 4: If your device does not zoom in on the picture then it's time to get a new Google machine.

What's the Vegas line?

I may need to call my brother to put down a small taste for me.

I know your D is good. Just not good enough to hold us under 17 in our stadium and win a game without plenty of help from your offense.

Mizzou could win the game. I just don't think you're gonna come in and shut our offense down and win the game in that fashion. Our offense will get theirs. You're gonna have to put TD's on the board to win.

If we can score 23 against Bama on a neutral field with brand new QB, RB's and WR's 2 years ago... I think we can handle getting 17 with an experienced offense in our home stadium against Mizzou.

Vegas has WVU as 10.5 point favorites and the O/U at 51 points. Those guys know what they're doing.

The image above has Mizzou has the spread at +10 for Mizzou and the money line at+250.

The site I go through, Betdsi.com, has Mizzou at -105.

I've seen Mizzou as high as a +348 underdog on some other betting sites.
