betting Oklahoma State here is not a good bet. Mizzou will win this game. Its all up the defense. If the d can play a good game and show that Mizzou is a top 5 team then this should be an easy cover. I've heard a lot of good things about the MU d this year but have really not seen anything close to spectacular. They did only allow 10 pts and a garbage back door score vs Nebraska but Nebraska hasn't really shown a very potent offense like Oklahoma State's. I don't believe that they will be looking past this game to Texas because its not like Oklahoma State is a walk in the park, and they are trying to make a national statement. This will be a moderate play for me. Last week was a huge play.
Neither defense is great, plain and simple. Both offenses can light it up at any time, with an advantage to Chase and Co.
2 TDs in a game like this has good value IMO. knowing that OSU could put up a late backdoor TD quickly is enough for me to take the points here

Do Big 12 or SEC teams really need to worry about making a national statment anymore now that USC lost. No one in the world can convince me that if any team in the Big 12 or SEC goes undefeated that they won't play in the NCG. Had USC stayed undefeated I would say yes, but not anymore. I don't care if Mizzou wins every game by just 3 points, if they and say Bama win out their will be no question on who should play in the NCG. IMHO.
This was the first line that jumped out at me. They are definately begging for Ok St. money. Its a big spot for Missouri to cover, but I think we will see a high scoring game, maybe a def TD or two by Missouri and a cover by Missouri. State's offense shouldn't be able to keep up and their D is very suspect. Combine that with Mizz home field advantage, we should see a repeat of the previous weeks.
Kojak first of all i want to say i have looked at your plays for the past 2 years and you are one of the best cappers i have seen in a while.As far as the game i am coming up with a 12-14 point game here which is right on the money so i really would not put a bet on this game the oddsmaker just have this one right on the money as far as i can see. good luck to everyone this weekend .
More and More loving Mizzou in this spot. I agree with ^^^^ , Washington along with Daniel will not punt on a drive, that's an almost objective guarantee, upwards of 50 to 60 pts on the board wouldn't be a suprise. Neither have played no one of note, the game is in Columbia, cowboys have no defense and i'm thinking the tigers have a little less questions on defense. Like Mizzou and like a blowout
i dont care how good missouri is (... and theyre good)
there is no way they are going to just show up and score 40+ every week during conference play with the new clock rules. talk of 50-60 is preposterous. yes, i know what they average. but they are playing a team who is not going to go 3-out very often and their opponent can run the ball. missouri could score on every drive this saturday and still not crack 50.

the new clock rules have absolutely no effect on missouri... they don't huddle so the change in play clock means very little... other than some passes on the sideline, which mizz actually works the middle of the field mostly w/ their spread, these new rules don't matter with this particular team.
last yr mizz games avg 153 plays/game
this yr 148 plays/game
that's a 3% decrease in plays
last yr mizz scored less than 40 pts twice in b12 play- at oklahoma and vs kansas
this yr they've already scored more than 50 pts on the road at nebraska and over 50 neutral vs illinois with a fumble inside the 5
they also had 3 scoring drives of less than 2 minutes last week and didn't even score in the 4th qtr, scoring 52 pts in 3 qtrs on the road in conference!!1
if you're counting on the new clock rules to slow mizz down you're making a big mistake imo
good luck
