Prediction
While Texas A&M is the small favorite in this game, backing Missouri to pull the small upset looks to be the better play. It is true that Missouri nearly was upset by Vanderbilt last week, but that could have been a look-ahead spot to this game against the Aggies.
The Tigers have a much more balanced offense with their passing and rushing attack, while A&M is more one-dimensional, relying on their rushing offense. Further, Missouri has one of the better defenses in the country, even with the fact that they allowed 27 points to Vanderbilt.
Texas A&M will have a slight advantage because of their home crowd, but backing Missouri to win on the road will be our best bet because they have been more consistent this season.
Final Pick
Missouri Tigers ML (+105)
