Aggie DL overwhelming Mizzou OL. Texas A&M explosive offensive takes early 2 TD lead and coasts the rest of the game. I have no clue how this opened at -5.5 and only -7. Texas A&M is a terrible matchup vs Mizzou and game will be over by half as Mizzou is unable to get going on offense.

Mizzou is going to finish 8-4 or worse. The offense is held back by Kirby Moore in the red zone and now with Zollers it’s going to be tough sledding. The defense is good and will keep them in.

last year

Obviously we prefer home night games, especially big games like this.

But everyone in the conference has a noon or 1, 2 afternoon-evening flex, and dedicated night game for the 4 home SEC home games. This one was just the predetermined noon game selected by the SEC back in June. This was the first year they did it like this instead of flexing every game 2 weeks or 6 days prior.

Going into the game vs Bama, Vandy's schedule was nothing either. They had a ton of hype going into the game.

I am not saying the Mizzou roster is elite, but its way more talented Vandy's. Mizzou is pretty stacked for Mizzou standards, and in the middle of the pack overall in the SEC. They have killed it in the transfer portal the last 2 seasons.

Mizzou has some weaknesses that Alabama should exploit. The secondary is spotty, and prone to big plays. If Mizzou plays the ball control game, Alabama can get right back in it with busted coverages/big plays. I also worry about Mizzou's ability to consistently play their offense vs Alabama. Mizzou might be able to run the ball, we will see. But if they get off schedule, Alabama should be able to get off the field defensively, unless Mizzou makes plays. The OL for Mizzou is questionable on passing situations, and Beau hasn't been the best in the pocket.

Mizzou should be able to stop or contain Alabama run game. They should also pressure Simpson. If they are able to force some errors/turnovers, it could end up being close game.

As a Mizzou fan, Mizzou can't make mistakes or it can snowball. We saw it in the kansas game and South Carolina where a turnover led to them being down. Mizzou was able to stay the course vs those teams and win by 2 scores. I don't see that being the case vs this Bama team. I think Mizzou can win the game. They can do it without even playing a perfect game. But I Alabama's strengths I think end up overwhelming Mizzou's weaknesses.

Thanksgiving weekend/Rivalry week

Alabama vs Auburn
Arkansas vs LSU
Georgia vs Georgia Tech
Florida vs Florida St
Kentucky vs Louisville
Mississippi St vs Ole Miss
Missouri vs Oklahoma
South Carolina vs Clemson
Tennessee vs Vanderbilt
Texas vs Texas A&M

It would mean Arkansas has Texas, Mizzou, and 1 more

Illinois 17-7, Arkansas 12-4

For those of the Mizzou belongs in the Big 12 crowd, Mizzou has a winning record or tied with all the current Big 12 programs (never played Cincinnati). None of you can claim that one too, except Florida.

Mizzou 8-4

lol Schrader isn't even the best RB instate to play at Mizzou.
