Missouri vs Vanderbilt Prediction


Vanderbilt is legit with a star at quarterback and an udneratted defense, so I’m not surprised they’re favored at home. However, the value is with Missouri and the free points. Missouri is a top-10 rushing team and one of the best defenses in the country. Missouri is built to win on the road and is sure to have a game plan to slow down Pavia and all of his hype. These are two solid teams overall, so whichever team was getting points would have been the side I was on. Either team winning wouldn’t be surprising. Just don’t sleep on Missouri, is all I’m saying. Give me the points.

Randy Chambers's Pick: Missouri +2.5
