Arkansas vs Missouri Prediction


Arkansas is probably the better team and is 20-10 ATS on the season. However, Missouri at home is a different beast, where it’s 15-2 SU. We’ve seen recent upsets at home over Tennessee and Vanderbilt. It’s senior night and a chance to make another statement to the committee. I know I preach about grabbing points with the better team, but sometimes where the game is played and the spot matter. We’re laying a bucket. I’ll lean toward Missouri at home.

Randy Chambers's Pick: Missouri -2.5
