Missouri vs. Nevada
Play: Missouri -7
Cannot ignore what Mizzou did last year to Nevada in Columbia, 69 points total in a blowout. Missouri has the speed on defense to contain the Pistol attack. The Wolfpack have long been known to have a high octane attack, not this year, just 10 ppg and Notre Dame who is average at best, shut them out and steamrolled them in week 1. I would stack Mizzou up against Notre Dame any day. QB Gabbert for Mizzou a solid triggerman at a 68% completion rate (8 TDs, No picks) and while this is a dangerous spot for the Tigers, it is a must win scenario with big games on deck with Nebraska and then Okie State and Texas down the road. Mizzou pounded a decent Illinois team and allowed just 9 points to the Illinois attack with a far more dangerous. The Wolfpack QB has already thrown 4 picks on the season and their offense is average at best. Defense, offense, coaching, depth, talent at skill positions all favor Mizzou…plus the Tigers have covered 10out of their last 13 road games...they win by 14.

those are not IC.... this is his play today
Free college football pick from: Indian Cowboy - Take 'Over' 59.5 Missouri at Nevada (9 p.m., Friday, Sept. 25)
I like the over for a couple of simple reasons. For starters, I love to take the over when I believe an Underdog will be "active". I believe with 75% of the public hovering over Missouri, I like Nevada to step up on a primetime weeknight game. Nevada is 0-2 and obviously they are hosting this game on national television on Friday night. They need to step up. They struggled against Notre Dame and Colorado State which were both road games. This is their season home opener. I believe they will give Missouri a good fight here at home and although I don't trust them to necessarily to cover the 7.5, I do like them to exceed expectations and play ‘over’ the total. Nevada also remembers being torched by this team last year 17-69 in Missouri and has revenge based on that token. The ‘over’ is 10-3 for the Tigers on the road of late and the ‘over’ is 4-1 when the Wolfpack host winning teams at home.
