Oklahoma vs Missouri Prediction
Missouri comes into this matchup trying to bounce back after getting embarrassed by Alabama in their last game and they are dealing with an injury to their starting quarterback, but they will be at home for this game. The Tigers have been disappointing through eight games this season, but they can pick up a huge win here. Oklahoma has lost three conference games in a row and they have scored 14, 9, and 3 points in those three losses. The Sooners did go back to Arnold at quarterback, which I think will help, and they have a very good defense. With the injury concerns for Missouri + how they have looked in their last four conference games, I am taking the Sooners to get the win.
