triple-dime bet 357 Texas -13.0 (-110) BetUs vs 358 Missouri
Analysis: There is a massive difference in want to, and can do. I have been spot on in all four Mizzou predictions I've made this year and feel confident that streak will still be intact come saturday night. I have looked real hard at this game and utilized every resource I have to bring to bear and I cannot support the Tigers. The stubborn fact is that QB Blaine Gabbert is just not sound at all and you do not want to face that Texas defense with a hobbled signal caller. Plus backup Jimmy Costello is nowhere near ready to deal with what the Horns bring should he get the nod. The Tiger offense has not been able to get much of any running attack going this season and now they face this bunch. Not good. It is homecoming and perhaps the locals can hang for a half but the Tigers are notorious for being the worst at making ha¦lftime adjustments. This Texas team has it's sights set on a possible appearance in the big show and are used to going around with a bulls eye on their back week after week. Mack Browns kids will be ready. The last few years Missouri has managed to close the gap talent wise with Texas but they are not there yet and with an injury slowed quarterback I cannot see a good outcome here for Tiger fans and bettors. I see the Horns pulling away in the second half.
