Missouri vs Florida Prediction

What do we know about both of these teams? They both can score. I do believe Missouri can find success in this game, but the tired legs do concern me, which is why we aren’t going to bet on the side. Most importantly, the tired legs is going to really hurt the offense, and that will end up being the difference here. Florida and Gatros are both going ot run up the score, and neither team will be interested in playing a lick of defense. This game is going to be a shooout, and the over is going to cash with ease.
