Arkansas vs Missouri Prediction

The current betting odds have Missouri listed as a 3 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Missouri has looked really good in their games this season with their 8-3 record overall and their 4-3 conference record which has them in the middle of the SEC. They aren't really in the playoff race with their 3 losses, but they have looked great in their home games with their 6-0 home record and still have a 10 win season to play for including their bowl game. Meanwhile, Arkansas has looked good in their games this season with their 6-5 record overall, but their 3-4 conference record has them in the bottom half of the SEC and out of the playoff race. They are coming off a win over LA Tech in their last one which gave them bowl eligibility, but now they have nothing left to really play for this season. They have been a really up and down team this year too, winning some of their games in big blowouts but also losing some in the same fashion. Missouri has had their struggles against SEC opponents this season, but they have been night and day being home and away so look for Missouri to finish the regular season with a strong performance in front of the home crowd. The best way to place a bet here is on Missouri to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes


“To be bowl-eligible four of our first five years here is a lot of fun. That’s not the goal of our football team. That’s one of them, though. There’s a lot of power-four teams that are not bowl-eligible after today and won’t get bowl eligible. Some of them are in our league. It is an accomplishment, but not our ultimate goal.” - Sam Pittman after his team’s win against LA Tech in their last game. 


“Really, really proud of our football team today. I think our defense flipped the script to the game with the fumble recovery for a touchdown and that allowed our offense to find ourselves because we were struggling early. We went into it early knowing that we had to control the line of scrimmage and we did that.” - Eli Drinkwitz after his team’s win against MS State in their last game.
