South Dakota Coyotes vs. Missouri Tigers Prediction
I’m on South Dakota and the points here. I get the case to be made for Missouri here as the Tigers have looked solid out of the gate this season, but the Tigers have had issues covering the bigger numbers they’ve faced and I think this could be another problematic number here. Give me South Dakota and the points in this one.
