This seems fair to me. The defense has looked very shaky at best. But the offense seems good enough to beat middle of the road sec teams. Thoughts?

Sounds about right to me. I just hope the D plays the entire game as tough as they played against Indiana

Sounds right, we could end up seeing a lot of movement with this line this week though. I think Mizzou is still a little undervalued in Vegas, having said that not sure ill touch that line

I really have no idea. I keep going back and forth. The defense has to show up in the 1st quarter though. Can't afford to fall behind to SEC defenses.

2pt dog is not bad. Don't the home team get like 3pts just for being home???

Yes. I was actually shocked today to see on twitter that Mizzou is in the top 5 (SEC) in scoring defense and rush defense. Shocked.

semo, don't forget who we have played. Frankly, we should probably be first. Our offensive numbers should be at the top as well. We haven't played a single conference game unlike almost everyone else, so our numbers are really meaningless at this point. In a more general sense, even with the Arky State game, the team looks better and is more healthy than last year. I don't know that even with that improvement and health that the play I've seen so far translates to more SEC wins.

Yes, we're near the top in every offensive category. I'm not sure what to expect in conference play, but I'm hoping for 4 wins. Not expecting, but hoping anyway.

I still feel as clueless as I did at the beginning of the season. I had been feeling better until the Arky State game but now I'm just wondering how it all translates to conference play. Will be hoping right along with you.
