I think that Odom learns from his mistakes he made last year and the Defense will be improved.

The non-conference schedule is a joke so my expectations is 4-0.

As for SEC Play, here is my opinion on which program will be improved or regress and what kind of chance I give Mizzou to beat that team.

South Carolina (slightly improved) This may be the most important game of the season. Win here and Mizzou starts of 2-0 and has a strong possibility of heading into that Auburn game 3-0. SC will have more experience but I think Mizzou's offense will be too much for them at the end of the day. Still this one is a toss up. 50%

Auburn (improved) I heard a buzz that Auburn is over rated this year. I won't believe that until I see proof that says otherwise. Auburn will probably come into this game 2-1 (Loss to Clemson) and will be looking to get their 1st conference win. 30%

@ Kentucky (same as 2016) I don't think UK will be much different than last year. I'll give them the edge since they have home field advantage and Mizzou didn't win any road games last year. 45%

@Georgia (improved) If the last two years are any indication then this one could be another close one so I can't count Mizzou out. 35%

Florida (same) While the media is on the UGA hype train I'm picking The Gators to 3-peat. I don't think it will be quite the blow out that last year was but I don't give Mizzou much of a chance. 25%

Tennessee (decline) Tennessee is losing a lot of pieces and Mizzou has a history of doing well against the Vols. 40%

@Vanderbilt (slighty improved) It's Vandy, but they have surprised Missou in the past. 60%

@Arkansas (decline) Mizzou beat a better Hogs team last season. I think they pick up a much needed road win and end the season on another high note. 55%

I see no reason Mizzou can't go 7-5 or 8-4 if they get a surprise win or two. Like it's already been stated, the team's success this season hinges on the Defense.
